Glenn Cumiskey

Corporate Historian, Saudi Aramco (Digital heritage; Information and computing sciences)

London, UK

I have worked for almost twenty years in digital preservation, national archiving, digitisation, oral history and traditional music projects both in Ireland and the United Kingdom. I have worked with the Irish Traditional Music Archive, and in partnership with RTÉ (the Irish National Broadcaster), the British Library National Sound Archive, the Department of Foreign Affairs, and the Department of Irish Folklore in numerous long-term projects. I am driven by a strong belief in the use of archives and digital technology to safeguard and provide access to hitherto inaccessible or endangered collections for the public good. I have increasingly become interested in the significant challenges that digital objects present from the perspective of long-term preservation.
