The DPC’s Global ‘Bit List’ of Endangered Digital Materials—or the Bit List—is a powerful call to action from the global digital preservation community. The report is reviewed and updated every two years, and highlights the digital content most at risk of being lost, based on real-world conditions and expert insight. By clearly identifying both the urgency of the threat and the value of the content, the Bit List shines a spotlight on the digital materials that demand immediate attention to ensure their survival.
The Bit List is an advocacy tool. It aims to influence key sectors and senior decision-makers by highlighting the urgent risks facing digital materials.
