About the Program

The Digital POWRR Peer Assessment Program is a supportive, year-long, cohort-based training program for cultural heritage professionals who are interested in learning and applying digital preservation assessment procedures into their work. Participants will be paid $3000 for participating, and their institutions will receive $870 to put towards technology purchases. This program will be delivered entirely online.

We have provided a preferred application period for members of our Phase 1 partner organizations, which include the Association of Hawai'i Archivists, Northwest Archivists, Inc, and Amigos Library Services. Although these applicants will receive priority in the selection process, we are now soliciting applications from individuals who are not members of these organizations.

For more information on the program, please visit our website<https://digitalpowrr.niu.edu/powrr-peer-assessment-program/apply-to-the-digital-powrr-peer-assessment-program/>. The application for Phase 1 is available here<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2F1dPUwNTJvmvAhfmy9&data=04%7C01%7Ccarleton%40ohio.edu%7C02d4f4e44d424569039e08d9960ccf21%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C637705804037566698%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=6BI7eNFR0RL%2B1HpedC3a9Xdd%2BNEP7obHZYIZDc6cqVQ%3D&reserved=0>.
