Digital Preservation Analyst, Archives New Zealand, formerly Digital Preservation Researcher National Archives, UK.

My interests are format identification, migration, creation of tools for the characterization of file formats. I’m a coder beginning in industry with C++ developing VoIP recording solutions. More recently I code in Python for the speed with which one can develop.

In the past I have blogged on the subject of digital preservation at the following links:

• National Archives, UK: http://blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/blog/author/rspencer/
• Personal website: http://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/category/digital-preservation/

Interested in any correspondence relating to digital preservation, either via the form here, or via Twitter: @beet_keeper

Please note, with the exception of matter-of-fact commentary on work I may be conducting at Archives New Zealand, all opinions and thoughts are my own.
