A great place to start: the DPC's 'Novice to Know-How' course
-
The Digital Preservation Coalition created the “Novice to Now-How: Digital Preservation Skills for Beginners'', a course aimed at those completely new to the topic.
It is part of The National Archives’ innovative digital capacity building strategy, ‘Plugged In, Powered Up,’ which include courses to provide learners with the skills required to develop and implement digital preservation workflows within their organisation.
It starts with a broad introduction to digital preservation issues and describes the measures we can take to address these.
They'll be releasing their new course “Novice to Know-How: Email Preservation” in July!

@Georgia DPC also have their Handbook, which 'provides a rapid introduction to a number of approaches that will support you in getting started, moving towards using other sections of the Handbook, and in building confidence and skills.'
I personally found their Glossary really helpful when I first started working for the OPF last year.
