The DPC is delighted to share an upcoming development opportunity with members. The National Archives is currently looking for volunteer mentors for its digital peer mentor programme. The mentor program is a great way to connect with and support a mentee for a six month digital project, with mentor support throughout the programme, and we encourage DPC members to participate.

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is delighted to give members a preview of its latest Technology Watch Guidance Note: Preserving Digital Art by Patrícia Falcão of the Tate.

"Digital Art is an important part of 21st century culture and collecting and preserving it is essential to understanding our world”, says the author. “However, its complexity and variety makes it a challenge to preserve, especially for organizations who have not worked with it before. My hope is that this new Guidance Note will help to demystify the preservation of digital art and empower more institutions to take the first steps to collect and preserve it."
