Click here to check your local time. 

Members and non-members are invited to join Karyn Williamson, Digital Preservation Specialist at the DPC and Robin Wright, Head Australasia & Asia-Pacific at this online session to introduce the DPC’s Community Archives Digital Preservation Toolkit and explain plans for a Global Ambassador pilot project in our region in 2026.  

The DPC is looking for individuals, companies or organizations from Australasia & Asia-Pacific to become Global Ambassadors for the Community Archives Digital Preservation Toolkit (‘the toolkit’) in our region. The DPC will provide training & support to adapt the toolkit for local use and will work with Ambassadors to develop, promote and distribute appropriate local versions of the toolkit to their communities.  

This session will explain plans for the Global Ambassador pilot project and the benefits and commitment required from participants. It will also outline the long-term ongoing connection available for participants and the DPC’s global plans for the toolkit in the future. 

Participation is open to anyone with an interest in the Community Archives Digital Preservation Toolkit but we particularly welcome those with an interest in participating in the further development of the toolkit in our region. For more information about the pilot project, please email Karyn Williamson at karyn.williamson@dpconline.org
