The digital preservation community is invited to submit nominations of at-risk digital materials to the 2023 edition of the ‘Bit List’ by Friday 30th June, next week.

A free-to-access and open resource for digital preservation advocacy, the DPC's Global Bit List of Endangered Digital Species (or Bit List for short) is a community-sourced list of at-risk digital materials which is revised every two years. Entries to the list are nominated by the community, who are at the forefront of digital preservation efforts, and reviewed by international organizations which represent global expertise in the preservation of the listed digital species.

The DPC is a data partner to the UK Information Workforce Data Consortium which is pleased to publish the results of the 2023 Workforce Mapping Survey of the library, archives, records, information and knowledge sector.

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is delighted to share translations of two more Technology Watch Guidance Notes: Preserving 3D and Wikidata for Digital Preservationists.

Now available in French, the Technology Watch Guidance Notes complement the DPC’s popular Technology Watch Report series. Preserving 3D forms part of the DPC’s Data Type series which is designed to provide a primer on the current state of community knowledge about types of data commonly encountered by those seeking to preserve their digital assets. Wikidata for Digital Preservationists provides practical advice on using, contributing, describing and curating data entries to enable storage and access to trusted data.
