Digital preservation is an increasingly relevant research area.
This is an advanced graduate seminar that will focus on the state of
the art in digital preservation.  Although not an exhaustive list of
the issues regarding preservation, we will attempt to cover as many of
the issues as time will allow.  On a rotating basis, students will read
and report on research papers from the leading journals, proceedings and
institutional reports.  All students are expected to participate in the
post-presentation discussions.

There will be six presentations by visiting researchers.  Check
the home page for the schedule of presentations.
