Sad news to to see that the PADI website www.nla.gov.au/padi, which has been a mainstay for information and resources on Digital Preservation  for 14! years can no longer be maintained by the National Library of Australia.

In her post on 3 September, Maxine Davis from NLA  describes the problems of maintaining the weblinks and the  time this is taking. The  Library has reluctantly  concluded "that the existing website, database and list no longer meet the current needs and that the Library’s resources are best invested elsewhere".

"A copy of the website has been archived in PANDORA<http://pandora.nla.gov.au/tep/10691>, Australia’s Web Archive. The existing live website will remain available until the end of 2010; however no new resources have been added since the start of July 2010 and the existing links will not be actively managed. The archives of the padiforum-l list will continue to be available, however no new postings will be accepted from 30 September 2010".
