<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This workshop introduces participants to the essentials of digital preservation and provides hands-on opportunities to put key practices into action. We will start with core concepts and low-barrier
activities that repositories can implement right away, such as organizing file structures, checking fixity, and documenting basic metadata.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In the second half, participants will engage directly with sample evaluation matrixes. Working in groups, attendees will practice customizing criteria, weighting priorities, and comparing features
to see how different digital preservation systems align with their own repository's needs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">By the end of the session, participants will leave with a starter toolkit of immediately usable practices, along with practical strategies for evaluating and planning toward larger-scale digital
preservation solutions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
