As of March 2025, the NDSA Leadership recommended welcoming its two most recent applicants into the membership:

The Instituto Moreira Salles has been working for the past two years on the beginning of its digital preservation program, organizing obsolete media and their digital files. They have also been implementing a workflow for preserving institutional information in digital format so that it can be preserved alongside all the permanent digital files from its collections and digital surrogates generated for preservation and online distribution. Next year, they plan to conduct a self-evaluation based on NDSA’s Levels of Preservation and the DPC-RAM organizational and service capabilities, along with building a digital preservation policy and plan.

Since 2012, Amherst College Library has made significant strides in digitizing, preserving, and cataloging holdings within its Archives and Special Collections to provide continued public access to its holdings and the long-term preservation of materials. The Library works to provide sustainable access to digital content produced by both the Library and the College through Amherst College Digital Collections (ACDC). Amherst College Library adheres to national and international community-based standards and best practices in managing its digital collections. Ongoing initiatives focus on refining strategies, policies, and workflows for preserving born-digital content, web archives, and legacy media, while also providing support to the campus regarding data management, digital repositories, and open-access initiatives.

Each organization participates in one or more of the various interest and working groups – so keep an eye out for them on your calls, and be sure to give them a shout-out. Please join me in welcoming our new members! You can review the list of members here.
