On 30 November 2017, as part of its ongoing advocacy work and the first International ­Digital Preservation Day, the DPC published the first ‘BitList.’ This list presented the results of a crowd-sourcing exercise that sought to discover which digital materials the digital ­preservation community thinks are most at risk, as well as which materials are relatively safe thanks to digital preservation.
