+Digital Preservation Outreach and Education (DPOE) Mission
To foster national outreach and education about digital
preservation by building a collaborative network of
instructors and partners to provide training to individuals and organizations seeking to
preserve their digital content.
+Challenges Facing Digital Preservation
Lack of awareness
Lack of organizational policy and planning
Limited educational resources
Lack of funding
+Baseline DPOE Curriculum
Identify - what digital content do you have?
Select - what portion of that content will be preserved?
Store - what issues are there for long term storage?
Protect - what steps are needed to protect your digital content?
Manage - what provisions are needed for long-term management?
Provide - what considerations are there for long-term access?
+Managing Content Over Time
