DPOE Plants Seed for Statewide Digital Preservation Effort in California

DPOE Plants Seed for Statewide Digital Preservation Effort in California. Barrie Howard. The Signal. October 9, 2015.
     The Library of Congress partnered with the State Library of California to host a three-and-a-half day workshop to increase the knowledge and skills of those providing long-term access to digital content. The California Preservation Program provides consultation, information resources, and preservation services to archives, historical societies, libraries, and museums across the state. They want to help librarians, archivists, and museum curators educate others and advocate for statewide digital preservation services. The state's smaller memory institutions need help with digital preservation. The workshop helped participants think about how to work across jurisdictional and organizational boundaries to meet the needs of all state cultural heritage institutions, especially small organizations with very few staff.
