INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 COLLOQUIUM-4 Digital Forensics in Preservation of Digital Content ABSTRACT We are living in a digital world where almost two-thirds of the population uses technology to lead their everyday lives. Despite an exponential growth in the amount of digital content that is being created by individuals, there is a lack in preservation of these content and overall the digital archives. Long term preservation of digital archives, which hold a staggering amount of continuously changing variety of data, poses a whole new set of challenges altogether. Since archives serve the purpose of capturing the social memory, archiving will help us in preserving an important part of the present cultural heritage. Digital forensics has always been associated with the world of criminology. But in recent years, digital forensics has slowly emerged as a reliable approach for digital preservation, especially for authenticating, accounting and accessing data from the past. This colloquium discusses the importance of digital preservation and explores a set of tools and techniques, ethical policies and procedures that would help in implementing digital forensics in preservation of digital content. It also gives a peek into what the future holds for preservation of the past, forensically. The rest of this colloquium is organized as follows : TOPIC OF INTEREST SPEAKERS 1.
