Designing a Shared Digital Preservation Lab for National Library and Archives New Zealand : Short Paper - iPRES 2025 - Wellington, New Zealand / Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa
Abstract
In 2019, Te Rua Mahara o te Kāwanatanga Archives New Zealand and Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa National Library of New Zealand began planning the design and build of a new shared Digital Preservation Lab for the two organisations. The Digital Preservation Lab would be part of a major capital works project to build a new purpose-built Archives building due for completion in late 2025. It was essential to understand each other’s workflows and equipment needs and co-design to the space to ensure that the Digital Preservation Lab would meet the needs of both organisations and their digital preservation and digital archiving teams. This paper will trace the journey spanning over half a decade to envision and plan the Digital Preservation Lab for Archives and the National Library and the decision-making process behind it. It will also detail the equipment chosen, and the setup for the facility as a potential model for other institutions to use.Details
