abstract: This 3-hour tutorial focuses on the practical problems in ingesting, preserving and reusing content maintained in relational databases. The tutorial is based on practical experiences from European national archives and provides an outlook into the future of database preservation based on the work undertaken in collaboration by the EC-funded E-ARK project1 and the Swiss Federal Archives2. This tutorial relates closely to the workshop: “Relational database preservation standards and tools” which provides hands-on experience on the SIARD database preservation format and appropriate software tools.
