Helping people understand digital preservation and put it into practice deserves celebration! Today, the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) continues its video series introducing the Digital Preservation Awards 2026 finalists, with a focus on Teaching and Communications. Hear directly from the people sharing knowledge, building confidence and reaching new audiences.
One of eight Awards categories, the Award for Teaching and Communications recognizes excellence in outreach, training and advocacy. It is kindly sponsored by the KB National Library of the Netherlands.
Meet the three outstanding finalists:
