This session will discuss the benefits of assessment models and frameworks in the field of digital preservation and provide an introduction to the NDSA Levels of Digital Preservation<https://ndsa.org/publications/levels-of-digital-preservation/>. In a practical session, attendees will be encouraged and supported to carry out a quick assessment of their own digital preservation capabilities using the NDSA levels and anonymous benchmarking will be facilitated using an online poll. A wrap up presentation will suggest next steps for moving forward with assessment using the NDSA Levels and include other useful information and tools relevant to making progress with digital preservation.
