The DPC is pleased to announce that registration is now open for its ‘Getting Started with Digital Preservation’ roadshow in Dublin on 18th May, hosted by the National Archives of Ireland.

 

About ‘Getting Started….’

This day long introduction assumes no prior knowledge except a willingness to engage with digital preservation. Through a series of presentations, case studies and exercises, participants will learn how to apply techniques of assessment, risk management and planning to help secure their digital collections.
