The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is delighted to share a Japanese translation of its Rapid Assessment Model (RAM), with thanks to volunteer contributors.

Now available as a PDF download in Japanese, the second edition of the DPC RAM is a digital preservation maturity modelling tool that has been designed to enable rapid benchmarking of an organization’s digital preservation capability.

“When we first released DPC RAM just over 2 years ago we had no idea it would be embraced by so many across the digital preservation community,” explains Jen Mitcham, Head of Research and Practice for the DPC and one of the DPC RAM co-creators. “To see it translated into different languages and now Japanese is incredibly encouraging. We are really grateful the volunteer translators for making this happen.”

Did you know that DPC members can receive Career Development Fund grants for training and development opportunities beyond those regularly advertised on the DPC website?

The DPC invites and encourages our members to apply for a Career Development Fund grant for a Member Self-Identified Opportunity.

These grants, detailed below, provide support for a training or development opportunity that a member has identified which they believe will help build digital preservation capacity within their organization.
