title: Incorporating Digital Preservation and Access Maturity Models into Wider Assessment Programmes: Archive Service Accreditation and the Levels of Digital Preservation and Born-Digital Access
creators: Melinda Haunton
abstract: This poster explores how and why two maturity models, the NDSA Levels of Digital Preservation and the DLF Levels of Born-Digital Access, have been embedded into a broad management standard for memory institutions (the UK Archive Service Accreditation programme), and the results of this approach to date. The poster explains the different approaches taken to preservation and access in this embedding, reflecting different broad levels of maturity within the UK archive sector’s digital activity. Finally the poster outlines early findings from the implementation and potential future developments.
