The British Library Preservation Advisory Centre and the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) have signed a new memorandum of understanding.
Both organisations seek to promote a culture of shared responsibility for and understanding of digital content amongst those caring for library and archive materials. Focussing on training and skills development, the first joint initiative will be an event on the preservation of digital objects aimed at librarians, archivists and technical staff involved in the creation and care of digital content.
The British Library Preservation Advisory Centre supports the preservation of library and archive collections of all types through the provision of preservation management tools, training and information services. The Digital Preservation Coalition was established in 2001 to foster joint action to address the urgent challenges of securing the preservation of digital resources in the UK. Established as a not-for-profit membership organisation the coalition provides a mechanism by which members can work together to realise the opportunities of long term access.
