DPC

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) welcomes Cerabyte to its Supporter Program this week.

With origins in the Memory of Mankind project, Cerabyte is a start-up business offering a sustainable and long-term storage technology for retaining data. The development of Cerabyte, a technology based on silicate materials, is able to preserve audio, visual, gaming and other formats – as well as text-based data.

The first prototype service from the Registries of Good Practice Project is now available, here: https://www.digipres.org/publications/

This first experiment has focussed on bringing together the proceedings of the iPRES Conference series. We're hoping this will make it much easier to find and build on the digital preservation research and practice from the twenty-year history of iPRES.

The ARA Section for Archives and Technology are a hosting a Digital Preservation Game Jam in collaboration with the University College London Information Studies Department.

This day-long in-person workshop will allow participants to work in teams to create both digital and analogue games with the goal to create engaging resources that encourage people to become more familiar with digital preservation concepts.
