Digital Preservation Planning

*Digital Preservation Planning*

*Other interested parties*
_Any other parties who are also interested in applying Issue Solutions to their Datasets._

*Possible Solution approaches*
* _testing out preservation planning tools_
* _suggestions of what worked/what didn't work from other developers/practitioners_

*Context*


This is part of a wider attempt to develop a robust preservation strategy to a small but growing digital repository in an underfunded but large local authority.  The dataset is a small sample from a larger collection of digital assets with a variety of file types, descriptive metadata etc.
