Digital Preservation Coalition

The DPC wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year. Our offices will be closed from lunchtime on 23rd December to 0900 on 4th January. Staff will mostly be offline but may pick up email in the interim.

Although the office is closed, we are going to use this period to draw attention to free online recordings and videos which capture the modern festive season and which form part of a digital legacy which we think future generations will also enjoy. We start with this recording of 'O Magnum mysterium' as composed by Morten Lauridsen in 1994 and performed by the Nordic Chamber Choir in 2008. This exquisite recording is freely available from YouTube (headphones essential):

We'll send a similar every day using the DPC Twitter feed between 23rd December and 4th January.
