Evaluating Your Digital Preservation - Webinar (05/14/20)

Digital preservation is a program any organization can accomplish - it just takes a plan!

An assessment can help you understand where you are, identify where you want to be, and identify realistic steps for getting there.

This session will: cover the digital preservation assessment process, offer real-life examples of ways institutions have used an assessment to find their path forward, and provide further resources and tools for performing an assessment.

This webinar is for library staff with roles in collections care, exhibiting, or technical services. Any staff with an interest in improving collections care are welcome.
