Kickstart Cymru

The Kickstart Cymru project aimed to increase all-Wales capacity to preserve born digital information by building on the work of the Saving the Bits training programme. The stand-alone workstations provided by this project include the necessary hardware and software to enable secure, reliable and resilient acquisition processes. Guidance on using the workflow is available to download below.

Guidance on indicative mapping of the Kickstart Cymru digital preservation bundles and associated workflow to the self-assessment standards outlined in the NDSA Levels of Digital Preservation (NDSA Levels) and the Digital Preservation Coalition’s Rapid Assessment Model (DPC RAM) is also available to download below. This guidance aims to provide recipient services of the Kickstart Cymru digital preservation bundles with an introduction to how the hardware and software provided can be used to support digital preservation self-assessment.
