The DPC is a not for profit operating on behalf of our members and of all to ensure our digital memory is accessible tomorrow.
Reflecting on the outcome of the UK EU Referendum and on the excellent relationship we have enjoyed with our European members, partners, friends and funders since our foundation in 2002, we note that the challenges of digital preservation are global: larger than any organisation, sector or individual country. We note that the benefits of international collaboration are not simply financial: they add value and extend our reach. While the Coalition certainly has its roots in the UK and Ireland, our community is global and our membership has grown in recent years, enriched by organisations from across the world.
The result of the EU referendum is not as many of us may have expected, but the challenge we face remains and is an international one. Our members derive great benefit from working across borders, countries and continents - digital preservation is a problem best faced together. And whether we are part of the EU or not, the DPC intends to continue enjoying the benefits of working with our international partners for many years to come.
