The Museums and Galleries Working Group brings together DPC Members working with digital content in museums and galleries to discuss digital preservation issues. This working group is intended as a supportive network for those with responsibilities for digital preservation in this context. It provides a regular forum for making contacts, building relationships, learning from peers and sharing successes and challenges.
Discussions within the group may focus on specific challenges relating to digital preservation in museums and galleries, for example how to advocate for digital preservation, how to manage large and/or complex digital collections and challenges relating to enabling access. The agenda will be led by the group, reflecting current topics and concerns for group members.
This group had its first meeting in March 2023 and meets every two months, with timings rotating to allow engagement across different time zones.
The terms and conditions for this Working Group can be found here.
In this meeting we will take a closer look at staffing and skills with a focus on the DPC's Competency Audit Toolkit and a case study from one of the group members on how this has been applied in practice.
If you are a DPC Member working on the preservation of digital content in museums and galleries and would like to join this group, please email eleanor.oleary@dpconline.org
Joining details and agenda will be circulated to group members a week before this meeting. Notes of meeting and recordings of presentations (where available) will be circulated to group members after the meeting.
The DPC Community is guided by the values set out in our Strategic Plan and aims to be respectful, welcoming, inclusive and transparent. We encourage diversity in all its forms and are committed to being accessible to everyone who wishes to engage with the topic of digital preservation, whilst remaining technology and vendor neutral. We ask all those who are part of this community to be positive, accepting, and sensitive to the needs and feelings of others in alignment with our DPC Inclusion & Diversity Policy.
