OPF Digital Forensics Hackathons

[Rebecca McGuinness]

The OPF is hosting two hackathons focussing on digital forensics. The world
of digital forensics offers many useful and practical techniques for
capturing, understanding and preserving digital collections. These OPF
Hackathons will provide participants with a chance to learn about what
digital forensics has to offer to the digital preservation community by
getting hands on with data, tools and new techniques. Our expert
facilitators will be on hand to guide you through these challenging
concepts and processes in a manner that is easy to understand and apply.

This blog post provides an overview of the application of forensic
techniques and emulation technologies in digital preservation:
