New Resources to Support E-Theses Preservation

[Angela Puggioni]

Today, the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) has launched the Preserving E-Theses Resource Pack, a new set of practical resources to help universities support the long-term accessibility and use of doctoral theses.

As theses increasingly include digital content such as data, multimedia, code, and web-based materials, the new Resource Pack aims to help universities and students address the associated digital preservation challenges.

Developed as part of the Arcadia and Research England-funded Open Book Futures project, the Resource Pack includes guidance for university staff, quick guides for doctoral students, an introductory video, and supporting materials that can be incorporated into existing doctoral training and support programmes.

The resources are freely available to both DPC Members and the wider community.
