#DPConnect

Happy New Year! #DPConnect returns on Thursday 8th January as a 30-minute session to catch up on all your holiday news, and digital preservation plans for 2026.

Click here to check your local time. 

You can join #DPConnect regularly at 1400 UTC on the second Thursday of each month as a online space to drop in and discuss all things digital preservation.

The gatherings remain short and informal, 30 minutes max, they have no agenda and no themes – just come and talk about what you are working on, share work problems and challenges - or just say hello! 

We'll use the hashtag #dpconnect when we discuss it on social media. 

Who can use #DPConnect?

#DPConnect is open to everyone in the digital preservation community, DPC Members and non-members alike, provided all participants are respectful and supportive of one another and adhere to the DPC's Inclusion and Diversity Policy (see more below).
