[Asis-l] Promoting International Digital Curation and Preservation Activity

[Joy Davidson]

***Apologies for cross-posting***

To help promote the range of ongoing, international activity in the fields
of digital curation and preservation, the Digital Curation Centre (DCC)
would like to encourage you to disseminate information about your research,
tools, resources, documents, news, and events via the DCC web site. A short,
on-line submission form is available at http://www.dcc.ac.uk/adding/.

Successfully promoting the curation and preservation of digital information
to a range of stakeholder communities depends on a high level of community
awareness regarding the breadth of current research activity and a shared
commitment to collaborate on the development of tools, resources and best
practices - both within the UK and internationally. The DCC is committed to
undertaking its own research into digital curation and preservation issues
and to the development of related tools and resources, but are also eager to
promote the extremely valuable work being done by others in the fields of
digital curation and preservation.

By improving the visibility of current international activity, the DCC hopes
to increase the overall awareness of digital curation and preservation
issues but also to help foster collaboration between related international
curation and preservation initiatives and stakeholder communities.

Please feel free to forward this on to any lists or individuals that you
feel might be interested in sharing information about their activity in
these areas.

Best regards,
