How are the preservation challenges we face amplified when considering preserving content across political borders? Viewing this from the perspective of two consortia, the APTrust and DPC, we will discuss our experiences and plans.

Rescuing the Evidence: Challenges with Digitally Preserving the World’s Holocaust Documentation
Jessica Knight
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, United States of America
