We currently have no formal presentations planned. Please come for a general discussion of what is going on in astronomy and other fields in the area of data preservation and curation. We will discuss our planned white paper, and consider a request from the IVOA Executive that this IG take on a "data preservation" role regarding the history of the IVOA itself.
