World Digital Preservation Day (WDPD) is held on the first Thursday of every November.

Organized by the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) and supported by digital preservation networks around the globe, WDPD is open to participation from anyone interested in securing our digital legacy – across all sectors and geographic locations. The 2025 theme of World Digital Preservation Day is Why Preserve?  We invite digital preservation practitioners to reflect on their organization’s motivations for preserving their unique digital collections, to share their stories, and to transform those insights into compelling advocacy messages. This theme will identify and highlight the current digital preservation landscape, outline a path forward and invite the community to unite in answering a powerful question: Why Preserve?
