I’ll be attending the Modern Language Association (MLA) Convention in early January, so I can’t make this, but it’s a great workshop program and highly recommended both for the content and the discussion with colleagues and peers working with the same concerns.

About the Workshop
The Digital Preservation Management Workshops, a series presented since 2003, incorporate community standards and exemplars of good practice to provide practical guidance for developing effective digital preservation programs. The workshops were initially developed at Cornell University beginning in 2003 under the direction of Anne Kenney and Nancy McGovern. Since 2006, McGovern has continued curricular development and directing the workshop from ICPSR at the University of Michigan. This has included development of Special Topic advanced workshops and a Train-the-Trainer program. Through 2010, the workshop series was developed with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
