Would you like to help shape a new edition of an important, free digital preservation resource? If so, please read on!
The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is currently undertaking a project, funded by the Welsh Government Culture Division, to scope requirements for developing a new, revised 3rd Edition of the Digital Preservation Handbook (the Handbook).
The project involves a consultation to help identify community wishes and needs for the new Handbook. As part of this consultation, we are circulating a Community Needs Survey to gather a broad range of feedback on the current 2nd Edition and guidance on what you would like from the new edition. The survey data is also being complemented by a series of focus groups to gather in-depth feedback.
We invite anyone who has an interest in digital preservation to respond to the survey; both those who have used previous editions of the Handbook and those who might be interested in using the new edition in the future.

The survey should take 10-15 minutes to complete and will be open until 12:00 UTC on 16th February 2024. A full preview of the questions included is available.
Many thanks for helping us ensure the new Handbook meets the needs of the community!
