The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) has made the next in its series of Technology Watch Guidance Notes, Preserving Digital Art, by Patrícia Falcão of the Tate, available on general release today. 

"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."
