In the next few minutes I’m going to talk to you about the Digital Preservation Training Programme, or DPTP. I’ll begin with some reflective observations on where we came from and what led to the DPTP being what it is today, say a little about the present situation, and then speculate on future directions and concerns for our training programme, and for education and training in the world of digital preservation in general. Hopefully the latter will stimulate some discussion in the panel session that will follow. As you’ll see, our work built extensively on that of Nancy McGovern and Anne Kenney and their colleagues at Cornell. Nancy has already given an excellent overview of their work so I won’t dwell on it in detail, except to acknowledge again our indebtedness to them for their willingness to share openly with us.
