Morning everyone,

I am Daphne O. DeLeon, Division Administrator for the Nevada State Library and Archives (NSLA).  NSLA is tasked by Nevada statute to provide government organizations the tools and resources to effectively manage their records.  I am involved in this working group and the NSDA in an effort to move Nevada government from discussion and pilots to an implemented system.

I look forward to working with all of you.

Daphne

Greetings,

I am the Senior Research Scientist at the Institute for Quantitative
Social Science; and the Archival Director for the Henry A. Murray
Research Archive, at Harvard U.  (Most of my work and publications are
here:
http://maltman.hmdc.harvard.edu ) I am involved with this NSDA group
in part due to my Harvard affiliation, and in part due to my
continuing role on the Data-PASS steering committee.

best,

Micah

Organizations can have multiple participants across any of the working groups, and your institution can change participants at any time if a particular working group is not a good fit. If you need to make any changes to your participants in the Infrastructure Working Group, please contact me directly at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.

That's a long way of saying that I work with the partnerships and projects that are building software and infrastructure in support of digital preservation. I'm new to NDIIPP, but not new to the Library or to the digital library community.  My job is both outward facing (working with partners) and inward facing, where I manage a team that supports digital preservation efforts at the Library.
