The DPC notes that “this work will bring greater attention and access to good practice and excellence within the dynamic digital preservation community from across the region.” ITHAKA will provide the organizational home for the new DPC-dedicated staff member. “After a period of planning and development and through its arrangement with ITHAKA, the DPC will deliver a program of face-to-face events for members in the Americas, as well as facilitating knowledge exchange between organizations in the region through briefing days, working groups and task forces.”The DPC partners “with its network of organizations to deliver resilient long-term access to digital content and services through community engagement, targeted advocacy work, training and workforce development, capacity building, and sharing good practice and standards. … By establishing a USA-based resource, DPC hopes to expand its collaboration with the established, robust digital preservation community in the Americas to complement, celebrate and sustain their activities and amplify them for DPC members around the world.” For more information, read the news item.
