Amnesty International Adopts Preserve365 to Streamline the Archiving and
Preservation of Human Rights Records in Microsoft 365

BOSTON, MA AND OXFORD, UK / ACCESS Newswire (https://www.accessnewswire.com/)
 / March 6, 2025 / Preservica (https://pr.report/806a) , a pioneer
in Active Digital Preservation (https://pr.report/806b)  archiving, is proud
to announce that Amnesty International (https://pr.report/806c)  has
selected Preserve365® (https://pr.report/806d)  to enhance archiving and
preservation for its critical human rights records. The global organization,
dedicated to researching, advocating, and mobilizing to end human rights
abuses, will use Preservica's embedded Active Digital Preservation solution
for Microsoft 365 to transform how it archives records in Microsoft
SharePoint.

Using Preservica's Enterprise (https://pr.report/806e)  software, Amnesty
International has already built an extensive digital archive spanning over 60
years of documentation on human rights abuses and the work of the
organisation. Without a modern preservation solution, decades of human rights
records faced significant risks due to file corruption, outdated formats and
change or deletion.

By adopting Preserve365, Amnesty International can now standardize and
automate the archiving of files, folders, lists, and libraries within
Microsoft SharePoint using Microsoft retention labels. With embedded Active
Digital Preservation, the organization can ensure critical records and
evidence remain secure, usable and trusted for decades, and instantly
available to research staff directly from within SharePoint.

"We've seen firsthand how easily digital records can become lost or corrupted
over time," said Fiona Bolt, Information Manager, Amnesty International.
"Some of our case files from the 1990s, stored in unsupported formats, are
gone forever. That was a wake-up call. Since 2000, most of Amnesty's work has
been digital, but preserving and accessing these records has been a
challenge."

"With Preserve365 we are able to make the archiving, digital preservation and
retrieval of our critical records a seamless part of our Microsoft 365 and
SharePoint workflows. This makes the whole team more efficient and ensures we
have a proactive approach to protecting and demonstrating the integrity and
provenance of our most important digital records and human rights evidence."

Embedded archiving and preservation in Microsoft 365

With a high level of adoption of Microsoft SharePoint for digital records
collaboration, Amnesty needed a solution that not only integrated seamlessly
with its existing information management framework but also simplified
compliance and long-term preservation.

Developed in collaboration with Microsoft, Preserve365®
(https://pr.report/806f) embeds Active Digital Preservation
(https://pr.report/806g)  directly into the Microsoft 365 experience,
allowing Amnesty to leverage existing Microsoft software investments for
records archiving and governance. It also ensures records remain accessible
and protected from format obsolescence as well as optimize SharePoint usage.

By implementing Preserve365, Amnesty International is now able to:

·      Automate archival transfers: Purview retention labels categorize
records and initiate secure transfers to Preservica's embedded Active Digital
Preservation platform without requiring researcher intervention.

·      Ensure accessibility and authenticity: Preservica's Active
Digital Preservation technology prevents format obsolescence and ensures
high-value records remain readable and trustworthy over time.

·      Enhance efficiency and control: By integrating archival
preservation into existing SharePoint workflows, Amnesty will be able to
streamline the archiving process, reducing the burden on research teams and
mitigating the risk of data loss.

"Making preservation archiving part of our SharePoint workflows means archival
transfers can happen automatically," added Bolt. "No more waiting for
researchers to manually select what needs to be preserved or having to put in
a request-it will all be streamlined, saving time and ensuring the right
records are secure for the long term. Our researchers can also quickly locate
and demonstrate the full provenance of the records they need to support their
vital work."

"We're honoured to be working alongside Amnesty International in advancing
their vital human rights mission," said Mike Quinn, CEO of Preservica. "In an
increasingly AI driven world having a secure and reliable foundation of
trusted long-term records is more important than ever. We look forward to
supporting Amnesty as we continue to extend and develop Preserve365 further".
