The Open Preservation Foundation (OPF) is pleased to welcome meemoo as our newest member.

meemoo is a non-profit organisation that, with help from the Flemish Government, is committed to supporting the digital archive operations of cultural, media and government organisations.

Their specialist team digitises and archives images and audio for over 160 content partners in the cultural, media, and government sectors, including national broadcasters, museums, archives, heritage libraries, and art organisations.

meemoo (three separate organisations – VIAA, PACKED and Lukas – merged into meemoo in 2019) was one of the main partners in the PREFORMA project, which developed open source file format validators DPF Manager, veraPDF and MediaConch.

We would like to share our digital preservation journey with OPF and its members and learn from their knowledge. We consider OPF’s reference toolset an important resource for people, organisations and companies that take care of digital heritage collections.”
