The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is delighted to announce that Dr. Andrew Jackson will join its staff in January 2024 as Preservation Registry Technical Architect.

Based in the UK, Andy will lead efforts on the new “Building registries of digital preservation good practice” project, which is a collaboration between the Digital Preservation Coalition and Yale University. The project aims to enhance the registry ecosystem and make it easier for practitioners to both share and discover good practice guidance.

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) has released its 2023 edition of the Global ‘Bit List’ of Endangered Digital Species today, on World Digital Preservation Day.

An open resource for digital preservation advocacy, the DPC's Global Bit List of Endangered Digital Species (Bit List) is a community-sourced list of at-risk digital materials which is revised every two years. Entries to the list are nominated by the community, who are at the forefront of digital preservation efforts, and entries are reviewed by the Bit List Council – a group of international organizations which represent global expertise in the preservation of the listed digital species.
