The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is inviting data creators, curators and consumers to prepare to share stories of their own 'digital preservation day'.
World Digital Preservation Day is organised by the DPC and is open to participation across all sectors – members and non-members alike – and will showcase the daily activities of those involved with or contemplating digital preservation.
Suggestions for contributions:
- share a typical 'digital preservation day' on Social Media: take photos, make videos, share updates, remembering to use the hashtags #WDPD2018 and #DPA2018
- blog about digital preservation, post a piece to a blog and send the link to be added to the WDPD2018 page, or send your post in advance to sarah.middleton@dpconline.org by 9 November and it will be added to the DPC's WDPD2018 blog roll
- hold and publicise a live event, submit details to sarah.middleton@dpconline.org by 9 November and the details will be added to the ‘What’s On’ section of the WDPD2018 page of the website
- submit case studies to the BitList: following the publication of the ‘BitList of Digitally Endangered Species’ for the first time in 2017, the DPC is seeking case studies of work completed in support of the preservation of current entries over the last year, submit case studies to sarah.middleton@dpconline.org by 9 November
