Digital Preservation: How to Preserve Digital Assets 

Congrats! You've digitized some materials from your collection and are
offering them online. But what steps have you taken to ensure that the
digital files can be migrated successfully to the next generation of
hardware and software? Will your digital records be retrievable and
readable by your next system?

This workshop is designed to introduce records managers, archivists, and
librarians to the issues of ensuring future access to digital assets.
And that future could be as soon as 5-10 years from now, when current
systems will be obsolete and your digital assets at risk of
irretrievable loss.

The challenge to all managers of digital information is one of due
diligence: backing up is not enough. Preserving digital assets requires
articulating long-term needs, creating documentation, and developing a
"business" plan to manage digital assets into the future. More than
technical specs for hardware and software, preserving digital assets is
about helping your organization prepare for an ongoing management
challenge.

Find out what you can do now to help your organization preserve its
digital assets!
