Apply NOW to the Digital POWRR Digital Preservation Professional
Development Institute!

(Apologies for cross-posting. Please distribute widely!)

The Digital POWRR team invites applications for the fourth of five upcoming
2 day institutes; to be held on January 31-February 1, 2019 at the
NIU-Naperville campus in Naperville, Illinois. Travel scholarships are
available for those with financial need.

An ideal candidate for a POWRR institute may be someone who fits some of
these descriptions:

   -

   Someone who works in a “boots on the ground” role (this could be any
   range of positions in the cultural heritage sector, but the idea is that
   your primary role is not one as an administrator)
   -

   Someone who has been exposed to basic digital preservation concepts, but
   who has struggled with moving from theory to practice
   -

   Someone who represents or serves historically underrepresented
   populations
   -

   Someone who is comfortable with basic technology, (navigating a basic
   computing environment) but who would benefit from instruction on more
   intermediate concepts
   -

   Someone employed by an institution unable to provide professional
   development funding adequate to attend other digital preservation training
   opportunities
   -

   Someone who works directly with digital materials, and who can work with
   POWRR instructors to start to create a rudimentary assessment document on
   digital preservation readiness at your own institution
   -

   Someone who would benefit from being a part of a small cohort of
   professionals like themselves, and who will put forth effort into
   sustaining these professional connections after the end of the Institute
