Collections, Issues and Solutions
Note to event participants: to add a new collection, first go to the collections page and create a new wiki page there. There are blank proformas that can be copied into your new collections (or issues or solutions) pages.
This page documents the preservation challenges that have been identified and (in many cases) explored during the AQuA Project event in Leeds.
These are collections contributed to the AQuA event (in sample form) that are associated with possible preservation issues to be explored.
