# Preservica and TownsWeb Archiving partner on digital preservation

**Oxford & Kettering, UK – Aug 28 2018 –** Digital preservation market-leader, [Preservica](https://preservica.com/), and [TownsWeb Archiving](https://www.townswebarchiving.com/), digitisation and archiving specialist, have announced a new partnership that provides culture & heritage institutions with a one-stop-shop for the digitisation, online discovery and long-term active preservation of valuable digital artifacts.
The partnership creates a combined offering that ensures files created during the digitisation of books, maps, manuscripts, photographs, newspapers, 35mm slides, magazines and microfilm can be easily uploaded to the long-term safe-keeping of a proven cloud-hosted active digital preservation solution – immediately protecting the investment made in the digitisation project.

The Preservica platform provides durable and secure preservation storage as well as ensuring file formats are automatically migrated to newer formats that can be read and used by future generations. In addition, using Preservica’s standard APIs, preserved content and metadata can be displayed and discovered through TownsWeb Archiving’s PastView online access portal.
Paul Sugden, Managing Director of TownsWeb Archiving comments *“We are excited to announce Preservica as our preferred partner for the long-term preservation of digitised materials. We were already working with a number joint customers and so it made sense to provide our shared user base with a complete solution for the digitisation and long-term preservation of digital materials”*
Moira Edwards, VP Channels and Alliances at Preservica adds *"We are delighted TownsWeb Archiving have become a preferred partner for digitisation services. Organisations often undertake digitisation projects without considering how their output files will be protected and preserved over the long-term. Having a combined solution simplifies the whole process and ensures the investment in digitisation is quickly protected. TownsWeb Archiving’s online management and publishing system, PastView, will provide another great option for showcasing the digital assets held within Preservica."*
