The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) has made the next in its series of Technology Watch Guidance Notes, A risk driven approach to Bitstream Preservation by Paul Wheatley, available on general release today.

A risk driven approach to Bitstream Preservation explores some of the challenges that must be addressed by a storage architecture designed for long-term digital preservation. It considers the risks faced by content stored over the long-term and concludes with a simple approach to assess and document the risks and mitigating actions put in place to address them.

The newest training course in the Novice-to-Know-How series (N2KH) will be available soon. If you haven’t done the original N2KH Learning Pathway yet, now is the time!

You might have already heard: for the past 4 months The National Archives in the UK and the Digital Preservation Coalition have been busy developing a new online training course on email preservation. The training is the latest in the digital preservation learning pathway “Novice to Know-How” and will be launched in June 2023.

We are delighted to report that, following their nominations, Michelle Donoghue – Information Governance Manager at the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, Vicky Plaine – Head of Media Management at the BBC and Alicia Wise – Executive Director of CLOCKSS have been elected to join the DPC Board at the most recent DPC Board Meeting on 14th April 2023.
