Manuscript Mondays – Free, Live Webinar

Presenter: Lauren Goodley, MSIS, CA. Digital Archivist, The Wittliff Collections, Texas State University

Many people do digital preservation activities, whether we’ve received training to do so or not. Tools and procedures abound, but how do we make decisions about how best to use these resources? Going back to the basics of archival practice and preservation can help. It can be useful to step back and take stock of one’s digital preservation activities, identify any gaps, and improve work where appropriate. We’ll look at 6 modules developed by the Library of Congress, as decision points and to direct digital preservation actions. These steps are iterative and scalable. Beginners, seasoned digital preservationists, and everyone in between can benefit from a place to start or a boost to their processes.
