The Digital Curation Lab is the University of Salford’s contact point for its membership in the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) and activities associated with Digital Research in Humanities and Arts (DRHA). The DPC is a UK-based non-profit that works with global partners to provide the necessary resources to educate various public and private entities on the best practices for long term digital preservation.
