ALCTS webinar: Hosting a Personal Digital Archiving Day Event
Date: March 20, 2013
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon Mountain,
1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
This webinar discusses how to host an innovative public program on preserving
personal digital information.
In an effort to share knowledge on how best to care for personal digital
information, The Library of Congress’ National Digital Information
Infrastructure and Preservation Program developed The Personal Digital Archiving
Day Kit. The toolkit provides resources for staff at libraries, archives and
other cultural institutions to help them plan and present a personal digital
archiving day program.
This webinar focuses on the resources included in the kit, how the kit can be
used to plan a public program, and why holding a personal digital archiving
program is beneficial for both public libraries and their communities.
Learning outcomes: Learn practical tips for hosting a personal digital archiving
day event.
Learn about resources on digital preservation that can help individuals preserve
their digital files, photos, videos, emails, and social media.
Who should attend? Librarians and other information professionals interested in
hosting a public event on how to preserve personal digital information.
Presenter: Erin Engle is a Digital Archivist with the National Digital
Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program at the Library of Congress.
She coordinates and contributes to communications, outreach, and social media
activities for the Program, works on developing personal digital archiving
resources, and is Editor of the monthly Library of Congress Digital Preservation
Newsletter. She has a BA in International Politics and French from The
Pennsylvania State University and an MSLS from The Catholic University of America.
