Core IG Week: Promoting Preservation Interest Group, March 4th @ 2PM Central

  • 1.  Core IG Week: Promoting Preservation Interest Group, March 4th @ 2PM Central

    Posted Feb 27, 2024 08:47 AM

    Please join the Promoting Preservation Interest Group March 4th at 2PM Central at Core IG Week.

     You can register for the session at this link.

    You'll find the complete IG week schedule here with more Preservation Section programming as well.  

    PPIG Agenda:

    NEH Grant Updates: Cathleen Tefft, Senior Program Officer Division of Preservation and Access National Endowment for the Humanities. News and updates from NEH including recent changes to the Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions. 

    Sustaining Preservation and Digitization Professionals in Ohio: Adam Wanter, Digital and Special Collections Archivist, MidPointe Library System, Virginia Dressler, Digital Projects Librarian, Associate Professor, Kent State University, and Miriam Nelson, Interim Dean of Collections and Digitization Strategies and Head of Preservation, Ohio University. For decades Ohio Preservation Council (OPC) and the Ohio Digitization Interest Group (OhioDIG) have been serving allied professions following different models. Over the last year OPC and OhioDIG have agreed to collaborate to find ways to be stronger and more sustainable volunteer organizations, while preserving each group's autonomy. Members of the two organizations will discuss this process and the opportunities they see in the overlap between the two communities.

    An Open Conversation on the Future of PPIG: Co-Chairs, Beth Doyle and Miriam Nelson. What is the best way our interest group can serve members? Does "Promoting Preservation" capture the spirit of what we want to do? Is the name distinct enough from Preservation Outreach and clear to prospective members? What excites IG members about the future of the section?
