Many research teams are aware of data curation and its numerous benefits, but few have so far managed to address the issues practically and effectively in a working environment.
The Digital Curation Centre is committed to bridging this gap by sharing our knowledge and experience with the higher education sector. To do this, the DCC has embarked upon a fresh, new, three-year programme of work, which began in March 2010. Our help isn’t just limited to expert advice. We are a gateway to the technical solutions, curation tools and learning resources that can help data custodians like you to build capacity for digital curation.
