SoA Conference 2009

Here is it, the eve of another SoA Conference. I’m off to Bristol tomorrow so as not to waste the long weekend worrying about what to pack. I’ve briefly looked over the programme and there appears to be a lot of “what we should be thinking about”. Thankfully there also appears to be some “we did this and here’s what happened”.

I’m hoping for real life examples and experiences. I feel I’m done thinking about digital preservation. I’ve been doing it for years. Years! Unfortunately, I’m not in a position to act and so must live vicariously through others.

The thing I’m looking forward to the most is staying in a swanky hotel.

Only a week until the SOA Conference, which I'll be attending this year. The topic - digital preservation and access - is relevant to all, and especially to me at the moment as I've turned into one of those new-fangled digital archivists.
