Content Interest Group

Content Interest Group Co-Chairs: Brenda Burk - bburk [at] clemson [dot] edu; Deon Schutte- deon [at] africamediaonline [dot] com

The Content Interest Group will intentionally engage the priorities and important resources promoted by the NDSA and the broader profession, and explore a broad array of topics related to preserving digital content, including: viable approaches to institutional collaboration; sharing strategies to address issues of scale and complexity; and the development of policies, practices, and community action to promote ethical and sustainable labor for digital stewardship.
