Abstract

The text discusses the formation and activities of AIDA, a Flemish network focused on digital preservation challenges. It outlines the network's inception, its response to the growing volume of digital archival materials, and its particular focus on Digital Private Archives and Collections (DPAC). AIDA's projects, such as the Digital Repair Cafe and SCALA emphasize the need for practical experience and collaboration. The article also highlights the organizational, business, and technical aspects of AIDA's solution, based on open-source principles. Lessons learned include the importance of practical experience through small projects, effective communication in a cooperative model, and the significance of understanding both technical and organizational aspects. The AIDA solution encompasses a business plan and technical workflows, contributing to the broader cultural heritage sector by promoting digital preservation awareness and collaboration. The article concludes by emphasizing technical knowledge, organizational aspects, and the success of cooperative efforts in preserving digital archives.
