Abstract

Archives of all sizes are showing an interest in collecting records of political activism, including community archives, historical societies, and university repositories. Records of political activism created today are predominantly digital, and planning, implementing, and maintaining a digital preservation program to protect them is a complex undertaking. Assessment helps repositories at varying stages in their programs find solutions to shared challenges. Session attendees will use the Digital Preservation Peer Assessment Handbook, a free resource, to begin assessing their digital preservation activities and create paths forward together.
