Digital Preservation Training Programme (DPTP)
The Digital Preservation Training Programme (DPTP) is a project funded by JISC under its Digital Preservation and Asset Management programme, or JISC 4/04 as it is more commonly known. The project is led by ULCC, working with its partners the Digital Preservation Coalition, Cornell University and the British Library.
The project's aim is to develop a modular training programme with content aimed at multiple levels of attendee. It builds on the excellent foundations of Cornell's Digital Preservation Management Workshop, whose development is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
A pilot programme was developed by the project partners along with King's College London Digital Consultancy Services and ADS/AHDS Archaeology. This was run in October 2005 at Arden House, Warwick University. Following encouraging evaluation and feedback, further DPTP courses are planned. The next will be in March 2006.
