The pilot version of this training programme took place in October 2005 and received very positive comments from attendees and through a process of independent evaluation. Comments included: “Overall an excellent series of seminars. Pre-course material was invaluable... I will be thoroughly recommending the course to colleagues.” "The overall approach was good and I was positively surprised that it was a real workshop with hands-on exercises." “...the most beneficial and well presented, thought out course that I've ever attended in 10 years as a professional.” 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.
