uploaded to the DPC website in 2002. It underwent a major overhaul by the DPC in 2015 and was republished on their website as the 2nd edition of the Digital Preservation Handbook. The DPC also created training workshops in order to help their members effectively implement the processes laid out in the handbook. Their most recent training workshop was branded "Novice to Know-How", a program commissioned by the National Archives of the UK as a part of their "Plugged In, Powered Up" initiative. Launched in May 2020, the two day course included lessons on file format preservation, a primer on DROID, and ingesting and preserving digital materials. Advocacy The DPC was operating in a new aspect of the digital frontier, one that was otherwise unknown to the public at large. They increased overall media coverage of digital preservation from a non-existent presence to one that was regularly being covered by various news outlets across print, television, and radio. They released regular reports that were easy to digest, hosted frequent forums and seminars, and published a quarterly periodical on their website. Awards Beginning in 2004, the DPC annually sponsors the Digital Preservation Award, originally through the Pilgrim Trust Conservation Awards. It presents 5,000 GBP to entities that exemplify digital preservation leadership and achievement. Membership The DPC began with 7 original members and quickly expanded to 26 within the first year of operations. Membership was originally broken into three categories: Full Members, Associate Members, and Allied Organizations and Individuals (now referred to as Honorary Personal Members). Full Members Full members are organizations that were able to participate on the board of the Coalition and in all projects. Associate Members Associate members are organizations that were limited to interacting with the Advisory Council of the Coalition and participating in all other projects. Allied Organizations and Individuals/Honorary Personal Members Allied Organizations are entities that were invited by the DPC to participate in projects because they other either specific knowledge or special access to industry leaders in digital preservation. These partnerships can either exist for a set amount of time while completing a specific project or can be ongoing partnerships that come to a close when either the DPC or the allied organization deem necessary. Allied Individuals, now called Honorary Personal Members, are also invited because of their expertise and their inability to qualify as a member. Honorary Personal Members are automatically renewed unless otherwise
