Museums are essential institutions that we trust to steward, preserve, and care for our collective cultural heritage - but the collections and heritage of tomorrow are being created today in digital formats. How can museums ensure that the digital collections they are creating and collecting today continue to be available and accessible in the future? The simple answer is: Start now. Don't wait. Whether you are digitizing your physical collections to increase access or creating digital assets in the form of virtual programming, almost all museums have some amount of digital materials that are in need of care and preservation.

Even with a full-time staff of one or two people, there are steps that museums can take to start caring for the valuable digital materials in their collections. This webinar will provide an overview of these initial steps, and will include:


  *   An overview of digital preservation concepts and challenges
  *   How to create an inventory to know what digital materials you have
  *   Basic strategies to protect and preserve digital collections
  *   Resources to learn more and help you get started

With his consulting practice, Future Access For All, he is seeking to expand archival thinking and practice to new contexts, to guide and support people in taking action to ensure the digital materials they are creating continue to exist for as long as they need them. He is drawn to this work because he sees the potential for people to create their own archives for their creative practices, their organizations, and their communities. He also teaches courses and workshops on digital preservation. Previously, Sam served as the Preservation Communities Manager at the Educopia Institute, and before that as the Digital Archivist at the University of Montana. He received his M.L.I.S from San Jose State University, and B.A. in Visual Arts from the University of California, San Diego.
