Dear NDSA,


The Coordinating Committee and the Working Group co-chair have determined that the National Digital Stewardship Alliance (NDSA) is in a unique position to identify and communicate the challenges, opportunities, and priorities for digital preservation activities in the United States. They will write the 2014 National Agenda for Digital Stewardship to identify emerging trends, opportunities, and gaps in national digital stewardship activity. The agenda is intended to be of use to NDSA members and to the digital preservation community as a whole. This agenda is not focused on assigning activities for the NDSA working groups. Rather, the agenda is an evaluation of the year's challenges and emerging issues that would inform digital preservation work across the nation.



The 2014 National Agenda for Digital Stewardship will be authored by the NDSA joint leadership group. This group is made up of the Coordinating Committee members, the Working Group co-chairs, and the NDSA facilitator. The 2014 Agenda will be authored by:




*         Micah Altman

*         Jefferson Bailey

*         Karen Cariani

*         Jim Corridan

*         Blane Dessy

*         Michelle Gallinger

*         Andrea Goethals

*         Abbie Grotke

*         Cathy Hartman

*         Butch Lazorchak

*         Jane Mandelbaum

*         Carol Minton-Morris

*         Trevor Owens

*         Meg Phillips

*         Amy Rudersdorf

*         John Spencer

*         Helen Tibbo

*         Tyler Walters

*         Kate Wittenberg

*         Kate Zwaard




This is not intended to be an extensive report about research activity; it is a succinct communication piece (approximately 5 pages). The agenda is an executive-level list of the challenges and opportunities in the digital preservation space for the year ahead. Short paragraphs may add further detail and substance.



If you have ideas, comments, suggestions, or topics that you think should be included, contact someone on the Coordinating Committee, talk to your wokring group co-chair, or shoot a note off to the list. The Working Group co-chairs will discuss what should be included in the agenda on the monthly calls coming up, but feel free to send your ideas at any time.



Happy holidays to all!



All best,



Michelle
