Digital Preservation Coalition

DPC is supporting our colleagues in the Fondazione Rinascimento Digitale with a conference in 11-12 December 2012 in Florence on the topic of 'Trusted Digital Repositories & Trusted Professionals'

The following topics will be investigated:

• how to preserve digital contents in a trusted digital repository
• how to understand cultural heritage and digital humanities specific requirements
• long term preservation policies for trust and sustainability
• the role of standards and the importance of cooperation among user communities
• user needs for training and re-skilling of professionals in cultural institutions
• a focus on the Italian policy framework for the cultural and scientific heritage
It is our intention to follow this event with a similar briefing day in the UK at a point to be agreed in 2013. For more details see:
