World Digital Preservation Day 2025 (WDPD2025) is coming up on Thursday 6th November, and we are excited to launch a new global campaign as part of the celebrations. To make it a success, we need your help, DPC Members!

This year’s World Digital Preservation Day theme is ‘Why Preserve?’ and we would like to feature our members’ voices as part of this campaign. We are asking you to share your organisation’s unique reasons for preserving digital collections - your “why” - so we can showcase the diversity of perspectives across the community and inspire others to take action!

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is delighted to welcome DAMsmart to its Supporter Program this month.

Based in Canberra, DAMsmart has provided expert audiovisual digitisation and digital preservation services since 2007. Supporting libraries, archives, museums, broadcasters, and cultural institutions across Australia and the Pacific, DAMsmart delivers preservation-grade digitisation of film, video, and audio. Its workflows support BagIt-compliant packages and preservation-ready metadata, and the team is skilled in recovering content from obsolete formats and endangered media. DAMsmart also offers digital preservation and content modernisation to ensure collections remain accessible and usable into the future.

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is proud to announce its role as the Tūī Platinum Sponsor for iPRES 2025, the premier international conference on digital preservation, taking place 3-7 November 2025 in Wellington, New Zealand.
