This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

As an paid employee of the Bodleian Libraries, I have a conflict of interest, but I would like the following facts added to the article:

Ovenden is a trustee of the Chawton House Library^[1] and vice-chair of the Kraszna-Krausz Foundation.^[2] In 2009, he was elected chair of the Digital Preservation Coalition, replacing Dame Lynne Brindley in a post he held until 2013.^[3]^[4] He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 2015.^[5] He is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, having been elected in 2008.^[6]
