Preserving Digital Collections Workshop

When: July 17, 2025 10:30 am-12:00 pm EST
Where: Virtual (MARAC Zoom)
Instructor: Katherine Fisher, Emory University
Cost: $20.00
Registration Limit: 50

Workshop Description:
In this webinar, digital archivist Katherine Fisher will review the basics of digital preservation, introduce key principles to guide archivists' decisions and actions, and outline practical advice for stewarding digital content regardless of source or format. Topics include the building blocks of digital information, threats to digital content, common misconceptions about digital preservation, standards and models that inform digital preservation practice, and preservation-related considerations at each stage of archival collection development and management.  Archivists who are just beginning to work with digital content will improve their foundational knowledge and gain a clearer sense of next steps.  Those with more digital archives experience or more mature digital preservation programs will be able to clarify their preservation goals, evaluate their current practices, and identify places to improve.  Please note that this workshop will not be recorded, so please plan to attend live.
