The AAO’s Professional Development Committee and Digital Access and Preservation Committee co-presents
What does Digital Preservation Good Practice mean to your institution?
This participatory session offers a friendly, open, and inclusive discussion of the concept of digital preservation good practice and what this might look like for different institutions and archives. We will start with an overview of good practice in digital preservation, including starting points, workflows, and tools to consider when implementing good practice strategies. We will then open the floor to participants for their perspectives and insights, as well as any barriers they are tackling in working with digital records. The spirit of the session is one of facilitation and open collaboration, both in the form of sharing information and providing support to archival professionals in their journey along the path of digital preservation. Come prepared to share your institution’s experience, to ask questions, and to offer feedback to other participants. We are all digital preservation experts in this session!
When: October 3, 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm EST
