The Aligning National Approaches to Digital Preservation conference developed out of a series of conversations between the Educopia Institute, the U.S. Library of Congress, the University of North Texas, Auburn University, the MetaArchive Cooperative, and the National Library of Estonia about the need for a forum where preservation programs from different national contexts can share information with each other for the purpose of building strategic international collaborations to support the preservation of our collective digital memory.

Range of topics:

• Organizational Alignment
• Technical Alignment
• Legal Alignment, Standards Alignment
• Economic Alignment
• Education Alignment

This conference intends to provide a participatory forum for information exchange and focused work on these topics.
