DIGITAL PRESERVATION PEER ASSESSMENT WORKSHOP (NORTHEAST DOCUMENT CONSERVATION CENTER) Date: February 15, 2019 Time: 930 am-330 pm Location: El Colegio de México, Biblioteca Daniel Cosío Villegas Building a digital preservation program can be a complex undertaking, but performing an assessment can help manage the many steps needed to create a sustainable digital preservation program. Self-assessment and working with a consultant can both be valuable, but a peer assessment goes one step further to create a community of support for building and sustaining a digital preservation program. Participants will leave this workshop with a peer assessment tool to implement in their own communities and will gain valuable practice using the tool during the workshop.
