MIDWEST ARCHIVES CONFERENCE

Fall Symposium - Digital Preservation

 

Friday-Saturday --- November 7-8, 2008

Spring Hill Suites, Lawrence, Kansas

 

_Please note_ that the hotel registration deadline is October 8th.

 

 

Nancy Y. McGovern is the digital preservation officer for the University of Michigan's Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR). She is the co-developer of and primary instructor for Cornell's highly respected *Digital Preservation Management workshop series*. This workshop is predicated on the need for institutions to combine organizational and technological perspectives to devise an appropriate response to the challenges that digital preservation (DP) requirements present. If you are a manager at an institution who is grappling with fundamental DP issues, this presentation is meant for you. The workshop schedule centers around three action plan sessions for policy, technology and resource frameworks. They were developed to assist you in designing and implementing an approach that will work for your institution. Each action plan references exemplars from real programs and potential building blocks for your frameworks.

 

Symposium attendees are eligible to earn seven archival recertification credits from the Academy of Certified Archivists. Registration rate includes supplemental handouts and access to an online tutorial to be completed by participants in advance of the event.
