Amy Ibbotson is Collection Management Archivist (Digital), Digital Archive Team, at Queensland State Archives. She attended the NEDCC Digital Directions 2023 Conference with support from the DPC Career Development Fund, which is funded by DPC Supporters.

Thanks to the DPC Career Development Fund I was able to attend the NEDCC online Digital Directions Conference. While the conference was not time-zone friendly for those of us residing ‘Down Under’ (2am wake up thank you very much!), the early starts soon proved to be worth the effort.

Taryn Ellis is Digital Preservation Technical Analyst at State Library of South Australia, a member of National and State Libraries Australia (NSLA). She attended the iPRES 2023 Conference with support from the DPC Career Development Fund, which is funded by DPC Supporters.

As a relative newcomer to the field of digital preservation (so much to learn, so much to do!) I was keen to attend the iPRES 2023 Panel, “Policies, Risks and Strategies: A File Format Debate” chaired by Sam Alloing from the National Library of the Netherlands (KBNL).

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is delighted to announce that Dr. Andrew Jackson will join its staff in January 2024 as Preservation Registry Technical Architect.

Based in the UK, Andy will lead efforts on the new “Building registries of digital preservation good practice” project, which is a collaboration between the Digital Preservation Coalition and Yale University. The project aims to enhance the registry ecosystem and make it easier for practitioners to both share and discover good practice guidance.
