Open Preservation Foundation

“OPF is a key organisation in the digital preservation community and many of its open-source tools like JHOVE, veraPDF or jpylyzer play crucial roles in the long-term preservation system of the National Library of the Czech Republic. We look forward to becoming part of this organisation, supporting the further development of its digital preservation tools and also benefiting from community experiences in the field of digital preservation.”

“We are thrilled to welcome another national institution to contribute their experience to the community and help steer our future tool development,” says Julie Allen, Executive Director of the OPF. “As they prepare to receive born-digital documents electronically, we look forward to working alongside the National Library of the Czech Republic to facilitate truly sustainable, digital preservation practices.”
