The Digital Preservation Coalition's quest to find and celebrate the very best work in digital preservation across all sectors has begun again this year with the launch of the 2016 Digital Preservation Awards. The prestigious Digital Preservation Awards is the most prominent celebration of achievement for those people and organisations who have made significant and innovative contributions to maintaining a digital legacy, and will culminate in a glittering awards ceremony on Wednesday 30th November 2016.
Last year big winners on the night included the University of Freiburg and partners for their 'bwFLA Functional Long Term Archiving and Access' project; Alasdair Bachell from the University of Glasgow with his work on Game Preservation in the UK; Adrian Brown for his book 'Practical Digital Preservation: a how to guide for organizations of any size;' and the University of Manchester for their 'Carcanet Press Email Archive.'
The finalists and winners will attract significant publicity and a deserved career boost, both at organisational and individual level. Those who walk away with a Digital Preservation Award on the night can be proud to claim to be amongst the best projects and practitioners within a rapidly growing and international field.
The Digital Preservation Awards are open to all. There is no restriction on public or private sector and there is no restriction to whether the applicant is a member of the DPC or where they are based. The Digital Preservation Awards are supported by leading organisations in this specialist field, including the Nationale Coalitie Digitale Duurzaamheid (NCDD) and National Records of Scotland.
