This project briefing will report on accomplishments, next steps, and action items from the Aligning National Approaches to Digital Preservation (ANADP) II Action Assembly held in Barcelona, Spain on November 18-20, 2013. ANADP is a community alignment forum designed to foster and support sustained global networks of influence and action. During ANADP I (Estonia, 2011), the community gathered to study the opportunities for alignment across national contexts and sectors. As documented in the final chapter of the award-winning volume “Aligning National Approaches to Digital Preservation” (Educopia, 2012), the ANADP community established 47 targeted alignment areas that the international community could pursue through lightweight alliances. During ANADP II, the community will focus its attention around seven concrete Action Sessions that have emerged in response to these alignment opportunities. The Action Sessions represent cross-national, community-driven work in digital preservation. This project briefing will include discussion of the ANADP alignment methodology and community, the seven 2013 Action Sessions outcomes, next steps this international community established at ANADP II, and how to follow and contribute to individual ANADP-inspired efforts and events.
