The creation of this guide was a collaborative effort, beginning with a series of focus groups with DPC Members, designed to discuss and brainstorm the topic of digital preservation documentation. Much of the content of this guide articulates the ideas shared by Members in these sessions. Focus group participants also helped develop the text of the guide by commenting on drafts and providing case studies.
