Digital Preservation Training Programme: registration of interest

The Digital Preservation Training Programme (DPTP) is a JISC-funded project which
offers practical training and support all staff involved in managing digital information within
their institutions. The pilot training programme will be geared towards Higher Education
and Further Education institutions but the content will also be broadly applicable to a range
of institutional settings. Managing digital material requires a range of skills from different
individuals working within an institution, from managers to operational staff, and includes
legal, policy and economic considerations as well as technical strategies. The DPTP is
being led by the University of London Computer Centre (ULCC), in association with the
Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC), Archaeology Data Service (ADS)/ AHDS
Archaeology, and Kingâ„¢s College Digital Consultancy Service (KDCS) and in partnership
with Cornell University. It provides a modular training programme designed to give
individuals the confidence to apply their new skills to their own institutional setting,
supported by carefully designed course materials.

A pilot residential DPTP takes place in the University of Warwick, October 10th-14th, 2005.
The cost of the pilot programme is free and participants will be asked to pay the costs of
accommodation only. Accommodation will be at Arden House at the University of
Warwick and will cost c. £ 80 per night.
