After a brief hiatus Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa, the National Library of New Zealand, has rejoined the National and State Libraries Australasia (NSLA) network. In the meanwhile, NSLA has joined the Digital Preservation Coalition, so by rejoining NSLA, the DPC is delighted also to welcome NLNZ into the Coalition.

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is delighted to announce that John McMillan is the new Head of Administration and Finance; a successor for Alyson Campbell who is retiring. 

John is well known to many of the digital preservation community already since he joined the DPC as Administration Manager in January 2020. 

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC), in conjunction with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) in the UK, have released an EDRMS Preservation Toolkit for 6-month Member preview from today.

The Toolkit offers advice on the preservation of records held within an Electronic Document and Records Management Systems (EDRMS) or other record keeping systems. This applies equally to current systems in use, legacy systems that are falling out of use, and systems that are being procured for the future.

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) has released the final three Technology Watch Guidance Notes in its initial ‘Data Type’ series, for Member preview today. The topics covered in the set are: Preserving 3D, Preserving CAD and Preserving GIS .
