NSLA is delighted to share that Matthew Burgess and Peter Brotherton from the State Library of NSW received the 2025 Angela Dappert Memorial Award for Digital Preservation Research & Practice at the 21st international digital preservation conference (iPRES) in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. The award recognises work published at iPRES with strong theoretical underpinnings and clear impact on practice. This year, it acknowledges their paper, “The PREMIS of Metadata in SIPs: Producer versus Systemgenerated Preservation Metadata.”
The Angela Dappert Memorial Award, sponsored by Digital Lifecycle Management, honours innovative contributions to the field and the community that Dr Angela Dappert championed throughout her career. The award-winning paper examines the implementation of the PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata, providing a case study and highlighting the need for further guidance and documentation on implementing PREMIS in Submission Information Packages (SIPs).
The iPRES conference proceedings will be made available in early 2026.
Matthew Burgess was funded to attend iPRES as part of the NSLA Strategic Communications Program.
