This interactive, online training spans three half-days and will cover essential concepts, best practices, and actionable strategies for managing digital collections. Throughout the program, participants will be introduced to free resources and tools for digital
preservation. Participants will also have the chance to engage with faculty and fellow participants through small group discussions, allowing you to share experiences and solutions for common challenges. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of the
next steps to strengthen your organization’s digital preservation efforts. </div>
