Each instalment is designed to help data custodians, producers and users better understand the challenges they face and the roles that they play in creating, managing and preserving digital information over time. For each topic covered, suggestions for best practice and real life examples are given.

To ensure that the Manual remains as relevant as possible, our expert authors review their individual instalments on an annual basis, updating entries where necessary to reflect any major developments in digital curation.

As an added quality control, our peer review panel, comprising a number of international experts in the field of digital curation, reviews each instalment produced.
