  • Jefferson Bailey, Metropolitan New York Library Council
  • José “Ricky” Padilla, Intern- Library of Congress
  • Shelia Morrissey, ITHAKA

Innovation Insights Award

  • Prepare the page (change dates on existing page) and get people to start nominating
  • Trevor: nominated the Pop-up Archive
  • The WG should announce that we are looking for nominations
  • Old list had decent bit of nominations but a lot
  • Trevor and Ricky will update list
  • Important to remember that nominees should still be alive
  • Purpose of the Awards is to nominate projects from different fields or people that don’t already have many awards. People who normally wouldn't come to our attention

Interviews

  • Interviews: Ongoing, Sheila SCAPE and DPC event. William Kilbride, Scape Project. Preservation at scale. All of interest.
  • Jefferson sent Jason Scott questions. Awaiting response.

National Agenda document

  • Exciting research topics: up on the Draft version of the agenda on the wiki.
  • Jane has been doing research to see what research is on digital preservation. Used Google scholar, not journal aggregates.

Speaker Series

  • Speaker series: Funders idea discussed with analogy of speed dating
  • SWAT: Conversations on this, around the NYPL space.
    • Lots of agreement that this would be a good thing to do – media archeology lab in NYPL collaborate with metro. Possibility to do this out at long island city location. Possibility for NYU ITP and or CUNY. Pratt’s campus (Might be a good idea to separate out getting the work done in NYPL’s long island place, and having smaller space at NYPL for public programming.)
    • Should look for alternatives of NYPL as space provider (speak to Don about this)

Digital Preservation Stack Exchange

  • Last mentioned 10 months ago
  • Move of private beta and into public
  • Already has near 70 questions
  • WG asked to think of ways to get more people involved
    • Possibility is to incentivize like an invite get to go to a conference or we interview that person
  • WG should think of different listservs that could add to this and send it to them
    • Some lists are TADA, Photographers association, SNIA, ELDB, and AMIA
  • Suggested that we advertise to people in DAM works (including students), science data management, and traditional conservation preservation community.
  • See if Lori Emerson and more Digital Humanities people can pass it around

Other Notes

  • Partnership with e-recycling to buy old hardware off them really cheap
  • Think of new digital preservation pedagogical work (it would be hypothetical work to then be applied)
    • Wait for after the agenda
    • WG has heard discontent about digital preservation grad programs. Area could need some innovation
