Preservation Section Business Meeting and Program, Friday August 16 12:30pm - 2:30pm in the Grand Salon 7/10
The Preservation Section will host a panel on Preservation in the Cloud, an examination of what “digital preservation” means in a cloud computing environment. This panel discussion will ask hard questions about the difference between “storage” and “preservation” when it comes to the cloud and consider real-life implementation and planning that goes into working in the cloud. Speakers include Dennis Meissner from the Minnesota Historical Society, representatives from Tessella’s Preservica, and Kelli Bogan from Colby-Sawyer College.
The Report on Digital Preservation and Cloud Services from the Minnesota Historical Society is linked below.
The program will begin after a brief business meeting.

Digital preservation meetings always remind me how vital long term data archiving really is. Last year I helped digitize old historical records for a regional museum, and keeping those archives accessible across changing formats was a huge challenge. While reading up on modern data storage standards, I got interested in how decentralized systems archive records. That led me to a helpful walkthrough explaining a HYPE to USDT swap. The hypeusdt.app site functions purely as an educational resource and informational guide covering basic address checking and network logic. Great to see professional archival standards getting discussed so actively!
The employee development program plays a vital role in any company’s growth. It helps you adapt to work processes faster, understand company rules and improve efficiency. Especially useful is the high-quality employee handbook translation which makes internal documentation accessible to international teams.
