Overview[]

The Digital Preservation Coalition was established in 2001 to foster joint action to address the urgent challenges of securing the preservation of digital resources in the UK and to work with others internationally to secure our global digital memory and knowledge base. Established as a not-for-profit membership organization, the coalition provides a mechanism by which members can work together to realize the opportunities of long-term access.

The mission of the Coalition is to enable and act as a catalyst to support its members to ensure long-term access to and management of their digital assets; to collaborate with our national and international partners to take forward the digital preservation and asset management agenda; and to act as a broker and an agent of knowledge transfer amongst its members.
