Digital Preservation Coalition

The DPC has just released a Call for Proposals to undertake a number of short desk-based research projects and on that basis draft and deliver a set of ‘Technology Watch Reports’ for the Coalition, for completion by December 2011.  A grant of up to 30,000 GBP is available for research that will lead to the production of between five and nine reports on the topics of ‘Web Archiving’, ‘Trust in Post Cancellation Access Services’, ‘Preserving Computer Aided Design’, ‘Preserving Email’, ‘Significant properties’,  ‘Preserving and Conserving Digital Art’, ‘Preserving Moving Pictures and Sound‘, Intellectual Property Rights for Preservation' and 'Digital Forensics and Preservation'.
