I like the idea of breaking into smaller groups, given how the Content Group has grown. I think that my only concern with the categories is that we may be way more heavily weighted in a few areas. I also wonder how people who work in collecting repositories with wider subject scope of collections might choose? As an example, I am at a state university, and we have a wide range of collection topics. In terms of digital collections, our largest in terms of space and items is one that would fall under the "World History and Cultures" category, but I would say that is the exception, not the rule, to our collections. I would probably end up picking American History, but are we going to be in a situation where American History and Government have a lot of members, and other groups are not populated? I don't have an answer to my question, although I am thinking about it... It does make me wonder what the institutional types are for all of us, and if we have a group that adequately represents all the possible types of content creators out there?

What do you all think of these proposed groupings? Government Politics and Law Maps and Geography News, Media, and Journalism Science Mathematics and Technology Social Sciences World History and Cultures American History Arts and Culture Religion and Philosophy If you had to sign up for one (well, you will be asked to sign up for one as a member of the Content Working Group) - do you see your organization's content representated? Are these good groupings for us to have? Should we have fewer groups, more? Others? What content do you care about preserving? Don't worry. I'll keep emailing the list until someone, anyone responds... :) Abbie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abbie Grotke | Web Archiving Team Lead | Office of Strategic Initiatives National Digital Information and Infrastructure Preservation Program | Library of Congress http://www.loc.gov/webarchiving/ | http://www.digitalpreservation.gov<http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/> 202-707-2833 | [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> | @agrotke ############################ To unsubscribe from the NDSA-CONTENT list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://list.digitalpreservation.gov/SCRIPTS/WA-DIGITAL.EXE?SUBED1=NDSA-CONTENT&A=1 ############################ To unsubscribe from the NDSA-CONTENT list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://list.digitalpreservation.gov/SCRIPTS/WA-DIGITAL.EXE?SUBED1=NDSA-CONTENT&A=1
