All: the attached note announcing the Digital Preservation Coalition website and handbook just came across on the digital library listserv, and is sent mainly as an FYI. Many of the projects are those summarized so well by Gail Hodge at the ICSTI meeting in Feb and at the CODATA meeting last month in S Africa. This site's content (focused as it is on digital library and published literature issues) illustrates the kind of information that is missing regarding preservation of digital scientific and technical data, and that we are in a position to supply. It also provides a potential model for the kind of information that might be provided on an ICSTI/CODATA S&T data archiving portal. Also, creating a similar handbook for scientific and technical data could also provide a valuable resource for scientists in all parts of the world.

The site also includes a web version of the first issue of Whats New in Digital Preservation a collaboration between the DPC and PADI. Please take a look around the site and let us have any feedback - I never want to proof-read and re-check it again (for a while at least)but if anyone spots an error or has constructive feedback this will be very welcome! Text of a press release below Neil For immediate release Digital Preservation Coalition launches web-site and online version of digital preservation handbook The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) website - www.dpconline.org goes live today providing a platform for the dissemination of DPC research and writing and makes available an online version of the Preservation Management of Digital Materials:A Handbook - an authoritative and practical guide to the subject of managing digital resources over time and the issues in sustaining access to them. As digital information becomes increasingly important to our culture, knowledge base and economy the DPC website will provide a resource for all those involved in the creation and management of digital materials. The DPC officially launched at the House of Commons in February 2002. The aim of the Coalition is to secure the preservation of digital resources in the UK and to work with others internationally to ensure that access to our global digital memory and knowledge base is not lost. The DPC has the following long-term goals: · producing, providing and disseminating information on current research and practice and building expertise amongst its members to accelerate their learning · instituting a concerted effort to get digital preservation on the agenda of key stakeholders · acting in concert to make arguments for adequate funding to secure the nation's investment in digital resources and ensure and enduring global digital memory · providing a common forum for the development and co-ordination of digital preservation strategies in the UK · promoting and developing services, technology and standards · forging strategic alliances with agencies nationally and internationally · attracting funding to the Coalition The launch of the website, and online version of the Preservation Management of Digital Materials, marks the next phase in the DPC's development and is a significant step towards addressing one of the Coalition's main goals: the commitment to disseminating information and sharing outcomes. This handbook, originally published by The British Library in October 2001 and developed through funding from Resource: the Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries, and the British Library Co-operation and Partnership Programme, is based on research by staff from the Joint Information Systems Committee of the UK Higher and Further Education Funding Councils (JISC) and the Arts and Humanities Data Service. The handbook is aimed at a broad audience and is intended to provide guidance to institutions at national, regional and local levels who are involved in or contemplating creation and/or acquisition of digital materials. In a rapidly changing environment the web version of the handbook can be updated on a regular basis to ensure currency of web references and cited projects. Development of the online edition has been funded by the Digital Preservation Coalition and completed by Neil Beagrie and Brett Scillitoe on behalf of the DPC. Endorsements and reviews of the Handbook: "For some years, Neil Beagrie and Maggie Jones have quietly been making an outstanding contribution to the development of digital preservation - on both sides of the global e-village. This publication amply demonstrates their skills at bringing together the best information, analysing it and synthesising it to produce practical advice, and adding their own highly valued ideas. This is the big picture, close up and intimate." Colin Webb, Director Preservation Services, National Library of Australia "The ever-increasing range of digital information is bringing new challenges in terms of understanding and managing the digital lifecycle, and the preservation of electronic resources will be just as important to our future as the existing great collections of our archives, libraries, and museums. It is impossible to imagine how generations to come will gain insight into our society and our lives without getting access to that growing range of resources. Preservation Management of Digital Materials is an essential tool both to raise awareness of the risks we run if we do not take digital preservation seriously and to give a sense of direction for those directly involved in the digital lifecycle." Chris Batt, Director of Learning and Information Society, Resource: The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries "This will undoubtedly become a key reference text on all aspects of digital preservation" Alison Horsburgh, National Archives of Scotland "Over the past few years the U.K. has been a hot spot for digital preservation activity. With the publication of Preservation Management of Digital Materials, Maggie Jones and Neil Beagrie have provided some of the most pragmatic information available today to assist cultural institutions in addressing digital preservation threats. It not only offers vetted guidance on available resources, but encourages the reader to think carefully about the issues, through a combination of case studies, commentary, checklists, and decision trees." Anne Kenney Associate Director, Department of Preservation, Cornell University, USA "If you are in any doubt of the need for digital preservation, read this handbook. If you need education on the place of digital preservation in the larger scheme of access and management, and on the many issues it raises, use this handbook. And if you want a usable source of definitive references on just about every aspect of digital preservation, pop a copy of this handbook on your shelf.
