The UK National Archives has won the Digital Preservation Award 2007 for its work on active preservation through the development of the PRONOM Technical Registry and the Digital Record Object Identification (DROID) file format identification. Tessella is delighted to have supported this highly innovative work.

The Digital Preservation Award recognizes leadership and practical advancement in the new and challenging field of digital preservation, and is part of the wider Conservation Awards 2007 (which reward excellence in conservation, collections care, conservation research and digital preservation, and celebrate the skills of those who care for the cultural heritage). The Conservation Awards are supported by Sir Paul McCartney and managed in partnership by key organizations in conservation, restoration and preservation management. The Digital Preservation Award is sponsored by the Digital Preservation Coalition.
