Dr Katie Green is the Communications and Access Manager at the Archaeology Data Service (ADS), University of York, UK.

The ADS is a specialised digital repository for archaeological data and supports research, learning and teaching with freely available, high quality and dependable digital resources. It does this by preserving digital data in the long term and by promoting good practice in the use of digital data in archaeology.

This paper will introduce the importance of data management, the dangers of digital data, and the ADS preservation strategy before presenting some of ADS’s key medieval resources. You can read more about Dr Katie Green’s seminar on the Medieval Studies in the Digital Age website.
