Greetings,

We are seeking to better understand the landscape of current digital curation and preservation training offerings in the library, archives, and museum fields.


We would appreciate any information you have about your personal experiences with such training. If you have TAKEN or OFFERED digital curation and preservation training in the last 3-5 years, please send a quick email with any of the following details to [log in to unmask]. If you could please send your response by FRIDAY, September 7th that would be much appreciated.  


  1. Name of training offering

  2. Format (e.g., workshop, webinar, online, graduate course)

  3. Your role (trainee, host, trainer)

  4. Host or trainer (if not you and if you recall)

  5. Date you took/hosted/taught this offering (rough dates are fine)

  6. Any other details you want to share



This query is related to the IMLS funded Sustaining Digital Curation and Preservation Training grant project. This Educopia Institute led project is convening leading continuing education (CE) stakeholders (trainers, hosts, administrators) from OCLC WebJunction, MIT (Digital Preservation Management), NEDCC (Digital Directions), LYRASIS, NIU (Digital POWRR), UNC-CH SILS (DigCCurr, CRADLE MOOC), DPN (DP Workflow), Society of American Archivists (SAA), Digital Preservation Outreach and Education (DPOE) and the Sustainable Heritage Network (SHN) to engage in multi-stakeholder scenario planning and to develop a shared vision for expanding and supporting digital curation and preservation training for libraries, archives, and museum professionals.
