Funding to Preservation:
A Digital Content Life Cycle Webinar Series!

Hosted By: CARLI and FLVC

CARLI and FLVC are pleased to host a 6-part Funding to Preservation: A Digital Content Life Cycle Webinar Series!

Spend Tuesdays this summer learning about: grant opportunities to fund digitization, workflows for processing born-digital materials, digitization best practices, digital preservation basics, and the importance of metadata in digital content.  

Session Details:

This session of the Funding to Preservation: A Digital Content Life Cycle Webinar Series is designed for smaller, under-resourced organizations who understand the need for digital preservation but are not sure how to begin creating daily workflows that incorporate accessioning, processing, and storing digital materials (both born-digital collections and files from digitization projects). The digital curation lifecycle will be viewed through a practical lens and the class will step through an end-to-end workflow for a hypothetical digital collection using simple,  open-source digital preservation tools.

Presenter:
