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
goals of the workshop are to foster critical thinking in a technological realm
and provide the means for exercising practical and responsible stewardship of
digital assets in an age of technological uncertainty.</span></p>

workshop includes interactive presentations, group discussions, exercises,
individual assignments, and a keynote presentation by an international expert
in digital preservation. Workshop attendees explore the range of components
needed to develop an effective digital preservation program. Workshop materials
include action plans for organizations to complete when participants return to
their institutions. Action plans result in organization-specific plans that
incorporate technical, financial, organizational, and policy aspects
encompassing the full life cycle of digital objects. The workshop focuses on
strategies for organizations to implement now, while research and development
goes forward in creating longer-term solutions that can be incorporated into
the program framework. </span></p>

curriculum is continually updated to reflect the latest community standards and

material and therefore does not specifically cover digitization except in
ensuring the quality of digitized and born digital content to be preserved. </span></p>
