Apply NOW to the Digital POWRR Digital Preservation Professional Development Institute!

(Apologies for cross-posting. Please distribute widely!)

The Digital POWRR team invites applications for the second of five upcoming in-person, 2.5 day digital preservation training institutes. The second Institute will be held January 3-5, 2024 at the University of Arizona's Main Library<https://lib.arizona.edu/> in Tucson, Arizona. Due to the generosity of the National Endowment for the Humanities<https://www.neh.gov/>, the Institutes are offered free of charge and travel stipends are available!

An ideal candidate for a POWRR institute fits some of these descriptions:

·         Someone who works directly with collections, including digital materials

·         Someone who has been exposed to basic digital preservation concepts, but struggles with moving from theory to practice

·         Someone who represents or serves historically underrepresented populations

·         Someone who is comfortable with basic technology (navigating a basic computing environment), but would benefit from instruction on more intermediate concepts

·         Someone employed by an institution unable to provide professional development funding adequate to attend other digital preservation training opportunities

·         Someone who would benefit from being a part of a small cohort of professionals like themselves, and who will put forth effort into sustaining these professional connections after the end of the Institute
