About PADI trails
Each of our trails have been designed to introduce the beginner both to
digital preservation and the PADI website. The trails consist of general
background information, as well as links to resources from our PADI database.
These resources have been chosen for their broad coverage and easy-to-read
content of relevant topics. The trails are a subset of the full PADI
database.
If you have a suggestion for a resource that may be useful in the
Trails, please fill out PADI's contribution
form.
