iPRES 2011 - 8th International Conference on Preservation of Digital Objects
November 1-4, 2011, Singapore
The National Library Board, Singapore and the Nanyang Technological University are pleased to host the International Conference on Preservation of Digital Objects (iPRES 2011) in Singapore in November 2011. iPRES 2011 will be the eighth in the series of annual international conferences that bring together researchers and practitioners from around the world to explore the latest trends, innovations, policies and practices in preserving our digital heritage.
Digital Preservation and Curation is evolving from a niche activity to an established practice and research field that involves various disciplines and communities. iPRES 2011 will re-emphasise that preserving our scientific and cultural digital heritage requires integration of activities and research across institutional and disciplinary boundaries to adequately address the challenges in digital preservation. iPRES 2011 will further strengthen the link between digital preservation research and practitioners in memory institutions and scientific research data centres.

Dear Delegates,
We hope you enjoyed yourselves at last year's IPRES and look forward to seeing all of you again as the conference moves to Canada in 2012 :)
Here's the conference proceedings for those of you who have requested for it. It's a little large (16mb), so do allow some time for it to load.
Once again, the organising committee would like to thank all sponsors and attendees for your kind support in making this event a resounding success!
Happy New Year!
the team at IPRES 2011.
