Return to NDSA:Outreach Working Group Home
The activity of raising public awareness is the most significant activity of the NDSA Outreach Working Group. This includes at least two high-level activities:
Authoring/framing/describing the high-level “ Statement of Purpose” that drives any digital preservation public awareness campaign, at whatever level. Is there a single dominant message that the NDSA hopes to propagate regarding the preservation of digital information? Are different messages (or variations on a single message) necessary to reach different audiences? What are the 1-word, 3-word, sentence and paragraph messages that NDSA is trying to propagate?
The NDSA:“Audience” explorations touch on the different audiences for digital preservation information, working to paint a clearer picture of the issues facing each audience, and considering ways that the mission of the NDSA can be presented to each audience. Audiences include the general public, practitioners, funders, legislators, etc.
The high-level messages are then implemented in a number of discrete activities:
NDSA:Digital Preservation in a Box
Large-scale national-level Public Awareness Campaign
Any possible work with the Ad Council is only one possible path that the group might take. There are a number of advantages to working with the Ad Council, and even if a partnership with the Ad Council is never achieved, the work that leads to that can inform many other activities.
Carol Minton Morris and Butch Lazorchak held phone call with Kate Emmanuel of the Ad Council on Dec. 21, 2010.
NDSA:Clearinghouse of Digital Preservation Information
Storage Vendors
There were several excellent ideas to engage storage vendors in putting "digital preservation" messages in the README files of their devices. Or other ways of engaging with the storage vendor industry. Some thoughts:
- Are there current initiatives with storage vendors by the digital preservation community?
- Are the storage industry events that the NDSA should participate in?
- Are the activities currently being practiced within the storage industry that the NDSA can leveraged to support digital preservation?
- 2 of the HDD companies that sell into the professional audio environment have already offered to preinstall the PCA project metadata collection app (http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/partners/bms_chace/bms_chace.html)
Participation in Digital Preservation BarCamps
Social Media
Do we want an NDSA Facebook page? Twitter account? How to best distribute the NDSA message? What social media tools, services and processes does your institution utilize? Slideshare? Vimeo? Flickr?
This work can start already without establishing an NDSA-specific foothold in the market. Join the conversation on the NDIIPP Facebook page(anyone can post!). If you tweet, please include the hashtag #NDSA when appropriate so that we can start building the NDSA brand on Twitter.
