Digital Preservation Handbook

Digital information is increasingly important to our culture, knowledge base and economy. The Handbook was first compiled by Neil Beagrie and Maggie Jones and is now maintained and updated by the DPC. The handbook provides an internationally authoritative and practical guide to the subject of managing digital resources over time and the issues in sustaining access to them. It will be of interest to all those involved in the creation and management of digital materials.

Please use the links on the navigation bar to the side to navigate through the Handbook.

N.B. During this interim period of establishing the new DPC website we are aware that the Handbook requires some further work. In the meantime the full Handbook can be downloaded here (pdf).
