Vacancy at the Digital Preservation Coalition: Preservation Registry Analyst

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) seeks to appoint a Preservation Registry Analyst. 

This new post will deliver programmatic improvements in digital preservation capacity on behalf of the DPC’s global membership, by improving the user experience and usefulness of a defined set of community-owned and community-maintained registry services and related information sources. This role will work to join up existing registry efforts through the support and development of a ‘Digipres Wikibase’ registry as part of the new “Building registries of digital preservation good practice” project.

In this exciting new role you will work to enhance existing digital preservation registries and maximize their usefulness for practitioners and preservation services. You will develop facilities to populate appropriate registries automatically or semi-automatically with good practice information. You will seek to coordinate registry activities and develop innovative ways to combine, analyse and enhance registry data in a way which will support digital preservation activities across the DPC membership and beyond.
