Kevin Ashley

Kevin Ashley was Director of the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) from April 2010 to August 2026. The DCC's primary goal was originally the development of research data services in UK universities; during his tenure its scope broadened to work with research-performing organisations internationally. He began his career in computing support for medical research before moving to ULCC, one of the UK national supercomputing services. He worked in development and management roles and contributed to a number of international standardisation initiatives in networking. From the early 1990s his team concentrated on the development of digital archive services for a range of public bodies including the British Library and the Public Record Office with a special focus on database archives.

Change of OA representative for DCC
I would like to add a new representative for DCC to the organisational assembly – Joy Davidson, currently DCC Associate Director. I presume it requires action from the secretariat to put this into effect but if that’s not the case do let me know.
