OVERVIEW

The Fostering a Community of Practice: Software Preservation and Emulation Experts in Libraries and Archives (FCoP) [IMLS grant RE-95-17-0058-17] project aims to broaden participation in software preservation and to empower librarians, archivists, and curators to address the key challenges to providing long-term access to software-dependent cultural heritage. Through an open call for software preservation project proposals, FCoP staff will select 6 projects to form a software preservation cohort. Projects undertaken by cohort members will advance digital preservation practice and inform field-wide understanding. The activities and documentation produced by cohort members will also serve in parallel efforts to bring software preservation and access into mainstream digital preservation practice (addressing specific legal, metadata and technical preservation and access challenges). Project proposals should be initiated by cultural heritage organizations in the United States that are currently working to preserve and provide access to digital content. The FCoP Project Team is particularly interested in project proposals from Historically Black Colleges & Universities Library Alliance (HBCU) and Association for Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies (ASCLA) member organizations. However project proposals from all other cultural heritage institutions are welcome.


Participation in the FCoP cohort includes:


All project proposals must include:


If you were not able to join us for the FCoP Open Information Session in December, the recording is now available here.
