Digital Preservation Futures

At this time of year we bring together our DPC Members and Supporters for meaningful communication around key topics so that all parties within our community may work more closely, effectively and harmoniously. Registration is now open for our Digital Preservation Futures Webinars (4 - 13 May) with Supporters and our exciting 'Future of Storage' Event (25 - 26 May).
