The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is delighted to share its new program of activities for its 20th anniversary year.

 

Focused on the priority digital preservation topics Members have specified through the annual Connecting the Bits consultation process, and through the Australasia and Asia-Pacific Stakeholder Group, the 2021-2022 prospectus includes publications, training, webinars, specialist briefings, as well as a range of exciting new activities and resources.

 

“This year is a special one for us,” says William Kilbride, Executive Director of the DPC. “The Digital Preservation Coalition was launched in February 2002 as a collaboration between a number of agencies operating in the UK and Ireland. Now, 20 years later, the DPC is an international charitable foundation with a membership of more than 120 organizations and present in 5 continents. So, as well as our usual activities, we’re inviting the digital preservation community to join in a range of other exciting activities as part of a celebration of twenty years of the Coalition!”

 

Highlights of this commemorative year include a 20th anniversary party in February 2022, as well as the launch of a new strategic plan and the celebration of the Digital Preservation Awards, both of which will take place as the DPC hosts the Eighteenth International Conference on Digital Preservation, iPRES 2022 in Glasgow.

 

With a global membership, the DPC’s program of activities is accessible across multiple time zones and geographies. The DPC shares its extensive catalogue of authoritative resources widely through its website, including reports, live streams and catch-up recordings of specialist briefing days.
