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, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The pilot is being developed by the project partners along with King's College London Digital Consultancy Services and ADS/AHDS Archaeology.

* Planning and strategy

* Metadata: overview and case study
* Web archiving
* Access
* Costs and risk management
* Legal considerations
* Outsourcing
* Certification
* Where do you go from here?
