Presentation given on World Digital Preservation Day 2019, 7th Nov 2019, 13:00 - 14:00, in the Kirby Collection room at the South African College of Music, University of Cape Town.<br><br><em>A brief overview to share some of our
experiences, activities and challenges around digital preservation at
the University of Cape Town. Presently,
expertise in digital preservation is growing only slowly in South
Africa: relevant training opportunities remain rare because many
institutions have yet to recognise the fundamental issues, and get
started with sustainably resourcing solutions. While some of our needs
may be about driving appropriately funded and structured projects
forward, even more important to our capacity-building efforts will be to
convene a local digital preservation community of practise that is
vitally connected to global exchange of ways of knowing and describing
the world.</em>
