The second ANADP (Aligning National Approaches to Digital Preservation) conference has been scheduled for Barcelona, Spain on November 18-20, 2013. This is a follow on to the first ANADP conference which was held in Tallinn, Estonia in May 2011, which was an excellent discussion of potential alignment strategies across various national preservation programs and was documented in a 2012 volume of proceedings published by the Educopia Institute. The outcomes from this meeting, and strategies for moving ahead, have been refined at a 2012 workshop held in connection with iPres, and a just-concluded January 14, 2013 Workshop held in conjunction with the International Digital Curation Conference now taking place in Amsterdam. (I will share a pointer to materials from the January workshop when they are available.)
