The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is delighted to announce that Anna Perricci will lead its new program of work which will support existing and new members across the Americas. Anna will coordinate the DPC Americas program to bring greater attention and access to good practice and excellence within the dynamic digital preservation community from across the region.

“We’re so excited to have Anna leading this important work,” said William Kilbride, Executive Director of the DPC. “She will be instrumental in expanding the DPC’s work in the Americas, helping us to collaborate with our members and the established, robust digital preservation community in the Americas.”

The Digital Preservation Coalition is working with the University of Glasgow as part of the Our Heritage, Our Stories project to produce a practical toolkit for those working with community generated digital content. The toolkit will include a range of practical guidance, support, and advice aimed at those working with digital records in a community context. We are running a Focus Group on June 7th, and kindly invite you to participate.

Each Career Development Fund grant will cover 100% of the full conference registration fees, and provide a contribution towards travel and accommodation if attending in person. Grant applications are welcomed from DPC Members until 07:00 UTC on 14th June 2024.
