The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) has made the next in its series of Technology Watch Guidance Notes,
Environmental Impact and Digital Preservation by Eira Tansey of Memory Rising, available on general release.
The new Guidance Note gives readers a brief but wide-ranging introduction to how digital preservation activities can both affect, and be affected by, environmental change. The report examines the implicit assumptions of digital preservation, and identifies
how changes in the environment might require us to re-think the risks we face and our plans to mitigate such threats.
"It's gratifying to see more digital preservation practitioners paying attention to climate change," says author Eira Tansey. "While there are no quick and easy shortcuts to making our digital preservation practices more sustainable, by zooming out we gain
greater appreciation about how larger societal systems impact our work."
The Technology Watch publication series is just one of the ways the DPC supports the digital preservation community. An international charitable foundation which supports digital preservation, the DPC helps its members around the world to deliver resilient
long-term access to digital content and services through community engagement, targeted advocacy work, training and workforce development, capacity building, good practice and standards, and through good management and governance. Its vision is a sustainable
future for our digital assets.
