National Archives (UK) and Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) announces new toolkit
The National Archives (UK) and the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) are delighted to announce the release of a new toolkit and corresponding online course aimed at assisting organisations in developing Digital Asset Registers. A Digital Asset Register (DAR) serves as a crucial resource that documents the digital content held by an organisation. Consequently, creating a DAR is a vital step towards achieving intellectual control over that content and planning for its preservation.
The toolkit is now available online at the DPC website and as a downloadable PDF, and registration is open for the self-directed course via the DPC’s learning portal. There is also an upcoming #DPClinic event which will delve into the production of the toolkit, its contents, and how to use the accompanying resources.
