Expanding Regional Preservation Field Services

Recipient: Foley, Lori Ranada (Andover, MA 01810 USA) in affiliation with Northeast Document Conservation Center

Goal: A preservation field service program that provides surveys, workshops and seminars, technical consultations, and disaster assistance to libraries, archives, and historical organizations in the Northeast.

Description: NEDCC requests support to expand the impact of its regional field service program to meet the changing needs of its audience, especially for training and technical assistance on preserving long-term access to digital content. The basic activities of NEDCC's field service program, i.e., workshops, surveys, publications, reference service, and disaster assistance, will continue. NEDCC will respond to the changing information landscape by integrating digital preservation into its traditional outreach programs and refining its pilot procedures for conducting digital preservation surveys. Objectives are: 1) to meet the needs of small and mid-size institutions for basic preservation training; 2) to meet the needs of institutions that are ready for training at a more advanced level; 3) to develop innovative conferences and publications on digital preservation; 4) and to cooperate with other RAP centers to leverage the national impact of its outreach activities.

Stewardship of Digital Assets: A National Workshop Program

Recipient: Hatcher, Rebecca (Andover, MA 01810 USA) in affiliation with Northeast Document Conservation Center

Goal: Four workshops entitled Stewardship of Digital Assets, which would be offered around the country for staff in libraries, archives, and historical organizations.

Description: NEDCC seeks to launch a national program of two-day workshops on digital preservation entitled Stewardship of Digital Assets. The need for training on this topic was highlighted through NEDCC's recent work in conducting ten pilot surveys of the digital preservation needs of museums and libraries. The survey consultants noted a need for staff training on digital preservation at every institution surveyed. Four workshops will be offered in four different locations. Each will serve 30-35 professionals from smaller and medium-sized institutions that are not likely to build their own trusted digital repositories. The workshops will emphasize the use of third-party certified digital repositories and will build an understanding of the need for a digital survey to help with institution-wide planning for digital preservation.
