Educopia is pleased to be able to offer this free Library of Congress-developed workshop on digital preservation to Michigan-based cultural heritage institutions or academic research centers. Hosted by the Loutit District Library (http://loutitlibrary.org), this workshop followed the curriculum of the Digital Preservation Outreach & Education (DPOE) Program based at the Office of Strategic Initiatives for the Library of Congress. See www.digitalpreservation.gov/education.
This interactive workshop consisted of three modules and aimed to provide attendees with basic digital preservation curriculum so that they can better curate the unique digital collections that they are building at their institutions. Modules for this workshop addressed the following topics:
- Identify – What digital content do you have?
- Select – What portion of that content is your responsibility to preserve?
- Store – How should digital content be stored for the long term?
A future workshop that covers additional modules is forthcoming.
