As we reach 3rd November in the most easterly time zones, our World Digital Preservation Day 2022 (#WDPD2022) celebrations begin!
Continuing the theme Data For All, For Good, Forever from another celebration - iPres 2022 - World Digital Preservation
Day showcases how digital preservation enables digits to flourish.
“Data For All, For Good, Forever is a chance to connect practitioners and supporters in celebrating the positive impact digital preservation has had across all parts of our global communities and societies,” explains Sarah Middleton, DPC
Head of Advocacy and Community Engagement. “This could be in sustaining our collections or environments, supporting communities, exchanging information and ideas, enabling innovation or resilience.”
Organized by the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) and supported by digital preservation networks around the globe, World Digital Preservation Day is open to participation across all regions and sectors, from anyone interested in securing
a sustainable future for our digital assets. Data creators, curators, and consumers from around the world are invited to showcase how their own digital preservation activities Let Digits Flourish through blog posts, social media posts, events and creative
activities, sharing with the online community with the hashtag #WDPD2022.
As part of the World Digital Preservation Day program the digital preservation community can also expect the release of the iPres 2022 proceedings, a new revision of the BitList of
Digitally Endangered Species as well as translations of DPC resources and some brand-new resources. Check the DPC website and @dpc_chat on Twitter throughout the day for updates
on these exciting releases!
WDPD2022 is just one of the ways the Digital Preservation Coalition helps raise awareness of the global strategic, cultural and technological issues which make up the digital preservation challenge. The Coalition also supports its international
members through other advocacy activities, workforce development, capacity-building and partnership; helping members to deliver resilient long-term access to digital content and services and derive enduring value from their digital collections.
