Digital Preservation for Smaller Institutions: POWRR<500
with Jamie Schumacher* on behalf of Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC)
The NEDCC has partnered with the Digital POWRR Project to develop a workshop with a focus on practical tips and activities for small organizations that have fewer than $500 annually to devote to digital preservation efforts.
Participants will gain confidence to move from digital preservation theory to practice by understanding the different policies and tools needed to approach building a digital preservation program. The workshop will have several activities, including how to assess digital preservation using the NDSA Levels of Preservation and will have hands-on experience with basic digital preservation tools that can be used even at institutions with limited budgets.

Annual Meeting Plenary Speaker
In August 2018, Governor Eric Holcomb appointed S. Chandler Lighty as the executive director of the Indiana Archives and Records Administration (IARA).

In his keynote, Lighty will reflect on his career and share some of the critical challenges that he and his team face. He will also offer some thoughts on how he seeks to apply the History Relevance Campaign’s Value of History Statement to the work of Indiana’s state archives.
