This digital preservation workshop will focus on developing a practical digital preservation strategy and workflow for those working without much external support. We will go through how to overcome some of the organizational challenges around digital preservation, discuss prioritization and workflow development, and run through an example workflow using free and accessible software. You will walk away with hands-on experience using these tools, as well as the knowledge to help actuate your digital preservation program. Together, we will lose the fear of the command line, protect the integrity of our files, and build a stronger digital preservation practice!
Who should attend?Anyone interested in learning how to develop practical digital preservation strategies and workflows without much external support, especially solo archivists and practitioners from smaller institutions.
What should you know already?No prior experience is necessary, but you will need to bring your own laptops to the workshop to actively participate.
Instructor:- Alyssa Pierce, Digital Preservation Librarian, Case Western Reserve University
