Course Description

How do you start a digital preservation program? This course is designed to help practitioners move from understanding the core vocabulary, standards, and best practices of digital preservation toward program planning, policy development, and systems evaluation. Through presentation, discussion, and hands-on exercises, the course will build on core concepts, explore organizational aspects of digital preservation, introduce tools and standards for technical and preservation metadata, and examine factors to consider in evaluating and selecting digital preservation systems.

Attendees may bring a laptop to participate in this course, but it is not required.

Upon completion of this course you'll be able to:

• Describe core concepts-best practices, vocabulary, and standards-related to preserving digital archives
• Take the steps necessary to plan a digital preservation program
• Discuss the basics of technical and preservation metadata, including relevant standards and tools
• Identify a range of digital preservation systems and establish a set of criteria for evaluating them

Who should attend? Archivists, records managers, and other information professionals who are or will be responsible for the preservation of born-digital materials

What Should You Know? Participants should understand archival fundamentals and be familiar with the basics of metadata and computer systems. We strongly recommend that participants complete the Thinking Digital webinar prior to taking this course.
