About DPASSH
The Digital Preservation for the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (DPASSH) conference is a biennial event by the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) that responds to questions relating to digital preservation within the arts and social sciences subject domain.
The conference seeks to address the complexities of long-term digital preservation in the social and cultural realms and provide a platform for early career researchers, academics, scholars, cultural heritage and research institutions, as well as libraries, archives and industry to engage with the domain and exchange ideas on solutions.
