Title:

How to Assess your Digital Value at Risk - An Introduction to the Digital
Value at Risk (DVAR) Calculator 

Abstract: 

One of the challenges facing archivists who are working with born-digital or
digitised content is understanding how to develop a systematic approach for
identifying the risks of losing digital assets stored in a variety of media.
Understanding how much your various digital assets are at risk, and what the
consequences of this loss could be for your institution, can help you to
develop an optimised approach for digital preservation. Bench marking your
digital assets register against key variables such as provenance, type of
file format, preservation strategy, storage media, and other factors can
also help you to prioritise your investment case for digital preservation.


The Digital Value at Risk (DVAR) Calculator is a new tool that applies a
risk/consequence model towards the potential loss of digital assets over
time. Mike Quinn will provide an introduction to the risk/consequence model
and provide a live demonstration of the DVAR tool, using case examples that
will be relevant to memory institutions, academic, public sector and
commercial archivists. Following the webinar, the DVAR tool and user guide
will be made freely available to PASIG members.
