    • Could also be a model for basic, simple, handout-style guidance for other types of born-digital collections: born-digital personal collections, electronic records, etc

  • Mock Digital Disaster Planning

    • Idea of coordinating with SAA's MayDay event on disaster planning (http://www2.archivists.org/initiatives/mayday-saving-our-archives) in May 2015 -- could orient delivery date around that
    • Idea of working on the idea/paper/whatever at IIPC (April 2015) and at LC Storage Meeting (Fall 2015)
    • Maureen will help (as possible pre-delivery) and Jane will help behind the scenes
