Open Call

Deadline Date

14/10/2024
Towards a National Collection, Our Heritage Our Stories Project is a project focused on researching and documenting the needs of community groups across the UK and possible ways to provide help and support. As part of this project, the Digital Preservation Coalition is working to create a digital preservation toolkit for community groups that will help and support those looking to start preserving digital records. We are launching the toolkit on November 7th at the Senate House in London from 10.30 to 15.30. 

As part of this event, Towards a National Collection hopes to have a series of around 10-minute case studies showing the problems community archives face now or have faced that the toolkit might help to resolve or could have helped if available.

Towards a National Collection would love to include case studies from community groups that have digital content as part of their collection, explaining how they preserve this (or don't) and what plans they have for their digital content going forward. We have spaces for several groups to talk about their digital content processes.
If you know of any community groups that would be interested in speaking at this event, please contact Karyn.Williamson@dpconline.org by Monday, October 14th
Return Travel and one night's accommodation, if needed, will be covered.
