The Michigan Digital Preservation Network (MDPN) will host a symposium to share learnings from our Institute for 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 will feature 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. Lunch and other refreshments will be provided.

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