Virtual DCHDC Meetup

The DCHDC Board invites you to join us for a virtual meetup on Zoom Tuesday, May 26 from 6-7:30pm. This meetup will follow a more informal structure and will continue our discussion of how the pandemic continues to affect our jobs and institutions. Next week's topic will center around media, collaborative research in digital preservation and the humanities, and the role of grantwriting. Each of our presenters coordinate decorated cross-institutional projects that have received major philanthropic attention.

Our speakers are:

Laura Wagner (Duke University Rubenstein Library), will talk about the important transnational, multi-lingual, multi-grant winning Radio Haiti preservation project.

Casey Davis Kaufman (WGBH + American Archives of Public Broadcasting), will talk about AAPB as a cross-institutional collaboration between WGBH, Library of Congress, and hundreds of public and community stations.

Mark Williams (Dartmouth), will talk about how the multi-grant winning Media Ecology Project synthesizes preservation work and curricular planning through crowdsourcing to provide a resource for research and the classroom.

We hope to see you there! Link will be provided next week before the meeting. Register here.

Digital Cultural Heritage DC is a monthly meetup group for people interested in collecting, preserving and making available digital cultural heritage information. Our meetings begin with a few short lightning talks followed by social information exchange. This is a great networking opportunity for students, as well as anyone interested in learning about digital collections in archives, museums, libraries or anywhere else. We're interested in digital content of all kinds, including film/video, still images, text, datasets, video games and pretty much anything of value in digital form. We are an open and friendly group, and welcome all comers.
