The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is relaunching an updated version of the Digital Preservation Business Case Toolkit to coincide with the start of a week-long Relaunch Roadshow in Australasia this week.

Focused on digital preservation activities, the Toolkit provides a guide to writing a business case and starts with factors to consider whilst planning your case, before offering templates and a step-by-step guide to drafting, construction and delivery.

“There is no perfect formula for writing a business case… as is often the case in digital preservation, it all depends on what the business case is for, who it is aimed at and how your organization wants you to present it,” explains Paul Wheatley, Head of Research and Practice for the DPC. “However, this toolkit provides a variety of practical ways to get you thinking about what makes a great business case, and how you can start to build one for your organisation.”

The DPC is owned and run by its members, renewing its leadership each year to ensure that members shape and oversee our programmes.  We are pleased to announce a number of changes at the start of another exciting year:

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is delighted to announce the launch of our Australasia and Asia Pacific program, 21-27 March 2023.
