Born-Digital Preservation Demystified
Born-digital records are an increasingly significant format in archival repositories, and archivists need to know how to preserve them. Yet, born-digital formats can feel daunting. Never fear! Help is on the way! This November 4th at the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives in Frankfort, join other archivists in Kentucky to learn some of the basics of born-digital records preservation. We will be hosting two concurrent webinars on born-digital preservation from the Society of American Archivists, followed by a panel of our colleagues sharing some of their born-digital preservation practices. There will also be plenty of time for conversation, as well as a repository tour!
Note: If you’d like credit towards SAA’s Digital Archives Specialist (DAS) certificate, KCA will be able to fund up to 2 registrants.
Look for an announcement and separate registration form to go out October 24.
