NC Department of Cultural Resources: History Happens Here (including podcasts) » |
| This digital preservation management workshop will address those who intend or who think they may be inclined to implement a digital preservation program at their library, cultural institution, archive, history society, city planning office, or other cultural institution. Kevin Cherry, Chair of the state NC ECHO advisory board will discuss the state-wide digitization project and Paul Jones, creator of the UNC Chapel Hill IBIBLIO site --- "the largest 'collection of collections' on the Internet," will discuss management, content, and preservation issues related to this ambitious North Carolina digitization project. The workshop will include a hands-on demonstration of new technology and software and a panel of experts including an educator, media center coordinator, historian, web designer, and GIS developer, who will lead a public discussion of local questions, issues, and concerns and will share their personal experiences with digitized local cultural heritage materials. The workshop is intended to provide a forum to stimulate conversation and critical awareness of the technological realm that is now charged with preserving and recording our physical context. It is hoped that this workshop will offer practical advice for those responsible for the oversight of the growing body of digital information. |
