About this Webinar

No matter the size of the institution or the scope of the collections, cultural heritage organizations are grappling with the reality of stewarding collections that are increasingly digital. Local history is now more likely to be documented on websites than in newsprint. Digitization projects can result in thousands of digital files that require upkeep to ensure they remain safe and accessible into the future. How can your organization develop a manageable plan for preserving and providing access to your community’s digital heritage?

The terms “digital preservation” and “web archiving” are understandably scary! These sounds like tasks that require big budgets and technical expertise. But this workshop aims to demystify the digital, giving you simple strategies that will help you tackle these challenges. You’ll also learn about Community Webs, a free program from the Internet Archive that provides support to cultural heritage organizations focused on documenting, preserving, and sharing local history online.
