NEDCC has partnered with the Digital POWRR Project to develop a one-day workshop with a focus on practical tips and activities for small organizations that have fewer than $500 per year to devote to digital preservation efforts. Participants will gain confidence to move from digital preservation theory to practice by understanding the different policies and tools needed to approach building a digital preservation program. The workshop will include several activities, including how to assess digital preservation using the NDSA Levels of Preservation, and will include hands-on experience with basic digital preservation tools that can be used even at institutions with limited budgets.

NOTE: This is not a workshop on how to scan or digitize materials. Participants are required to bring a laptop in order to participate in the hands-on activity. Please contact info@nedcc.org if you are unable to bring a laptop.
