Digital Preservation Toolkit for Community Archives – On the Road!

In November 2024, the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) launched the Digital Preservation Toolkit for Community Archives. This practical advice focused toolkit was designed to help community groups and archives portion up the work required to manage their digital collections by providing a range of basic guidance to be implemented and followed or built on.  

Now we’re taking the toolkit on the road! We want to work with you and your community group to get your records preservation ready. This one-day in person workshop gives you the chance to learn more about preserving the records in your digital collections, no matter what stage of the journey you are on.  

Please note this event will not be available online and will be in-person only.
