Creating a Blueprint for Accessible Digital Preservation: Learnings from the Michigan Digital Preservation Network’s IMLS Grant Activities, a Symposium

The Michigan Digital Preservation Network (MDPN) is hosting a symposium to share learnings from our Institute of Museum and Libraries Services’ National Leadership Grant, “Demonstrating and Documenting a Statewide LOCKSS 2.0 Preservation Network for Cultural Memory Institutions." This symposium serves as one of the deliverables of the grant project, which sought to build a replicable model for a statewide or regional digital preservation network. The event features presentations from MDPN members and grant collaborators reflecting on successes, challenges, and lessons learned that can be applied to future collaborative efforts in the field. View the full agenda and learn more on the MDPN's website.

Funds to support travel to the symposium are available through the MDPN with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Attendees can apply for funds via the Financial Assistance Form. While MDPN members and symposium presenters will receive priority funding, this opportunity is open to all attendees.

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
