[SOA] Digital Directions: Registration Closes Friday

[Ryn Marchese]

Learn from the projects, people, and challenges shaping digital preservation right now.
Every year, the Digital Directions Case Study Showcase brings together professionals who are in the middle of the work, solving real problems, and sharing what they've learned along the way.
This year's showcase features three very different digital preservation stories:

  *
Archivo de Respuestas Emergencias de Puerto Rico (AREPR)
Christina Boyles (Project Director) Ocean Arboniés Flores (Project Manager) will discuss AREPR, a collaborative digital humanities project that employs the decolonial practice of post-custodial archiving to record stories of mutual aid organizations and individuals surviving and responding creatively to stratified disasters that have impacted the Puerto Rican archipelago in the last five years.
  *
Purdue University Archives & Special Collections
Ben Parnin (Archivist for Digital Preservation) will share how the digitization of the Neal A. Armstrong papers was leveraged to enhance digital preservation and digital collections discovery at Purdue University Archives and Special Collections. The case study will cover the following topics: fundraising, advocacy, metadata standards, digital preservation policies, workflows, and system migrations.
  *
Greene County, Ohio Archives
Mary McKinley, Outreach Archivist, will present on a digitization and transcription project that was primarily volunteer run and then ingested into Preservica's access and preservation platform.

Whether you're preserving collections, building workflows, or managing digital projects, these case studies offer practical insights and honest lessons from the field.
Save the date: Online November 17-19, 2026 (3 half-days, Tuesday-Thursday)
