Call for Information: DPC RAM Assessment

Each year we encourage members to carry out a self-assessment using DPC RAM and share the results with the DPC. 

By collating member data annually, we can create benchmarking information to help you plan your digital preservation work and inform our own member-support activities. 

Starting from today until Monday 5 June, you're invited to complete a DPC RAM Assessment and send DPC your results. If you have already carried out an assessment since they last collected results from members in June last year, they’d be very happy to receive that. 

Please send your DPC RAM Assessments by the end of the day on Monday 5 June.

For more information about how the DPC uses DPC RAM with members and what they will do with the information you share, please go to their DPC RAM FAQ page. The DPC are committed to ensuring that individual member self-assessments are not made available to others and that benchmarking information is made available in summary form only and fully anonymised. 

If you would like help or advice on completing your DPC RAM Assessment, book a ‘RAM-bulance’ surgery session with the DPC’s Good Practice team who are happy to provide guidance and answer any questions you might have on the process. 

Book your 30-minute session on 26 April

Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions about your RAM assessment. For any other information, you can contact [email protected].  

Otherwise, they’ll look forward to hearing from you by Monday 5 June!
