Time for a digital preservation pop quiz! What is a codec? Have you come across them in your work?

DPOE-N helps you level up your skills in digital preservation! Since 2020, we’ve supported 56 cultural heritage professionals seeking to add the Digital Archives Specialist (DAS) certificate to their CVs.

The DAS curriculum is designed to provide you with the information and tools you need to manage the demands of born-digital records. For more information, visit: https://www2.archivists.org/prof-education/das

Test your knowledge of digital preservation terms and concepts with DPOE-N flash cards. What are your thoughts about the 3-2-1 rule? Does it still stand in today’s cloud-forward landscape?

Slides, files, and recordings from both days of our Digital Preservation Metadata 101 workshop are live on the DPOE-N website. Thank you to the instructors, Alexandra Provo and Maureen Harlow, and to all attendees for your participation.

How do you create and maintain meaningful metadata that makes your content repeatedly discoverable and usable for your audience? This workshop delves into what quality preservation metadata consists of and how it may change and evolve over time.
