The DPC is pleased to announce that its new Digital Preservation Competency Framework and companion resources are now available for member preview on the DPC Website.

The DPC Digital Preservation Competency Framework identifies and describes information on the skills, knowledge, and competencies required for successful digital preservation.  It aims to reflect current good practice whilst also being designed with flexibility in mind - to offer a balance of detail so that it can be widely applicable for a range of applications as well as useable by digital preservation practitioners across different organizational contexts.

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) has made the next in its series of Technology Watch Reports on Preserving Born-Digital Design and Construction Records by Aliza Leventhal and Jody Thompson, available on general release today.

Published by the DPC in association with the UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), Preserving Born-Digital Design and Construction Records aims to support archival professionals, as well as active designers and facilities managers. It offers those considering acquisition, preservation and access with approaches which account for both the technical and cultural components of the broad range of born-digital design and construction records created throughout the course of designing, building, and maintaining a built space.
