![dcc.gif](https://www.lorcandempsey.net/content/images/wordpress/lorcan/dcc.gif)The Digital Curation Center, still in early days, looks as if it will be a valuable repository of materials. See for example the [instalments](https://www.dcc.ac.uk/resource/curation-manual/chapters/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) planned (one has been completed!) for the Curation Manual. There is an overview of the DCC approach to digital curation, which is defined thus:

> Digital curation, broadly interpreted, is about maintaining and adding value to, a trusted body of digital information for current and future use. \[[DCC approach to digital curation](https://dev.dcc.ac.uk/twiki/bin/view/Main/DCCApproachToCuration?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\] 

There are plans for an [International Journal of Digital Curation](https://www.dcc.ac.uk/IJDC/?ref=lorcandempsey.net). And there are some [papers](https://www.dcc.ac.uk/research/publications/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) on aspects of curation. There is a [selection](https://www.dcc.ac.uk/tools/digital-curation-tools/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) of tools, limited to non-commercial approaches.

> Working with other practitioners, the **Digital Curation Centre** will support UK institutions who store, manage and preserve these data to help ensure their enhancement and their continuing long-term use. The purpose of our centre is to provide a national focus for research and development into curation issues and to promote expertise and good practice, both national and international, for the management of all research outputs in digital format. \[[Welcome to the Digital Curation Centre](https://www.dcc.ac.uk/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]
