Abstract: The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is an advocate and catalyst for digital preservation, ensuring our members can deliver resilient long-term access to digital content and services.It is a not-forprofit membership organization whose primary objective is to raise awareness of the importance of the preservation of digital material and the attendant strategic, cultural and technological issues.It supports its members through knowledge exchange, capacity building, assurance, advocacy and partnership.The DPC's vision is to make our digital memory accessible tomorrow.The DPC Technology Watch Reports identify, delineate, monitor, and address topics that have a major bearing on ensuring our collected digital memory will be available tomorrow.They provide an advanced introduction in order to support those charged with ensuring a robust digital memory, and they are of general interest to a wide and international audience with interests in computing, information management, collections management and technology.The reports are commissioned after consultation among DPC members about shared priorities and challenges; they are commissioned from experts; and they are thoroughly scrutinized by peers before being released.The authors are asked to provide reports that are informed, current, concise and balanced; that lower the barriers to participation in digital preservation; and that they are of wide utility.The reports are a distinctive and lasting contribution to the dissemination of good practice in digital preservation.
