Digital Preservation Training Programme, University of York Conference
Centre, 24th - 28th July 2006.
Booking is now open for the third Digital Preservation Training Programme.
This is an intensive one week residential course to be held at the
University of York Conference Centre, 24th - 28th July 2006.
Topics covered will include: planning and strategy, OAIS, tools, metadata,
costs, risk management, legal issues, web archiving, access plus much more.
The aim of the DPTP is to equip staff with the skills, tools and confidence
to be able to embark on a pragmatic and cost-effective digital preservation
programme appropriate to their own institutional needs.
Comments from previous attendees have included:
"All speakers were very engaging and very proficient at explaining often
complex topics in an accessible manner."
"The group of people attending the course was varied and this made for good
discussion and input."
"The application of theory to real examples is most valuable."
"...the most beneficial and well presented, thought out course that I've
ever attended in 10 years as a professional."
"Ultimately an empowering course."
DPTP's development is funded by JISC under its Digital Preservation and
Asset Management programme. The project is led by ULCC, working with its
partners: the Digital Preservation Coalition and Cornell University. It
builds on the excellent foundations of Cornell's Digital Preservation
Management Workshop, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Places are strictly limited to ensure a good presenter/student ratio and
maximum participation from delegates. Booking is open to all and we welcome
applications from elsewhere in Europe. Booking will close at 5pm, Friday
7th July. You will be advised whether your booking was successful by email
on the first working day following your request.
The full price for this course is £950 or the reduced rate of £855 for DPC
associate members or £655 for DPC full members, subject to confirmation from us.
