Statement of Purpose
The Content Working Group will focus on identifying content already preserved, investigating guidelines for the selection of significant content, discovery of at-risk digital content or collections, and matching orphan content with NDSA partners who will acquire the content, preserve it, and provide access to it.
Members
A list of current participants is posted here: NDSA:Content Working Group Members.
How to Get Involved
Contact co-chairs Cathy Hartman (Cathy.Hartman@unt.edu) and Abbie Grotke (abgr@loc.gov) to join the working group or to learn more about how to get involved.
Every member is encouraged to join one or more NDSA:content teams. We encourage all members to participate in the working group in some capacity: whether by calling into a meeting, joining an Action Team and helping with small or large tasks to accomplish Action Team goals, helping take minutes for our meetings, or contributing ideas via the listserv or phone calls. Any contributions are welcome! New members or existing members interested in getting more involved in the Content Working Group should review the current scope of work and action team information below. Contact your co-chairs Cathy or Abbie, or any of the Action Team leads, for more information or to jump right in and participate.
If you have a new idea for an action team or something that the Content Working Group might take on, please offer it up to the group! We want to be doing things of interest to the entire working group.
Current Scope of Work
NOTE: This, our original scope statement from 2010, is under revision. A NDSA:draft scope is available for discussion at the July 2012 partner meeting.
The Content Working Group’s current scope of work is to:
A) Develop or contribute to a registry of content already preserved by NDSA members.
B) Develop a clearinghouse that will enable a variety of stakeholders (content producers, archives and libraries and other potential preservationists) to:
- Determine what specific types of content or collections are at risk.
- Identify at-risk content or collections for preservation.
- Match orphan collections with appropriate trusted partner for access and preservation.
