Exploring the DPC Rapid Assessment Model (RAM) – Tasmania Workshop

Join the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) for an in-person workshop on using the DPC's Rapid Assessment Model (RAM) on Wednesday 13 May 2026 at the University of Tasmania in Hobart.

This workshop will provide an opportunity for those managing digital collections to learn about the DPC RAM and how it can help improve your digital preservation capabilities. The workshop will provide participants with an introduction to the DPC, hands-on experience of using the maturity model and an understanding of how RAM can help with digital preservation at their organization.

Presented by Robin Wright, DPC Head Australasia & Asia-Pacific. The hands-on sessions will be addressed online by DPC members from the Australasia region. The workshop will also include a live online presentation from members of the DPC’s Good Practice team in the UK.

The DPC gratefully acknowledges the support of the Sir John Morris fund for this workshop.
