Dear colleagues, I am excited to announce the publication of the guidelines and report from Enhancing Services to Preserve New Forms of Scholarship. Many thanks to those of you who participated and/or offered valuable input. Please note the contact info below for the project team. We will continue to iterate these guidelines, and we welcome your feedback. Best, Deb **** NYU Libraries is pleased to share the findings of *Enhancing Services to Preserve New Forms of Scholarship*, a two-year project funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and led by NYU Libraries to evaluate preservation for new forms of scholarly publishing. The project was a collaboration among digital preservation services, libraries, and university presses, who studied complex dynamic publications with features such as multimedia, data visualizations, and maps. The analysis resulted in a set of guidelines and best practices for creating digital publications that are more likely to be preservable. These guidelines are meant to be shared with publishers, authors, editors, digital production staff, software developers, and those who design and maintain publishing platforms. An interactive web version of the *Guidelines for Preserving New Forms of Scholarship* is published at https://preservingnewforms.dlib.nyu.edu, and a full static, print-ready version is available at https://doi.org/10.33682/221c-b2xj. A report describing the methods and context for the project is published at https://doi.org/10.33682/0dvh-dvr2. In a follow-on project we will embed preservation experts into a variety of publisher workflows to implement and test the guidelines to see if they are successful in improving preservability. As part of this process we would appreciate any feedback on the guidelines as we iterate, test, and improve on them.
