NDSA:Content Working Group
Content Working Group
NDSA Working Group Scope Statement
Content [DRAFT]
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.
Practices
The group will work and collaborate using the following tools and mechanisms:
• Listserv
• Regular conference calls/Webex
• Wiki
• IdeaScale
Participation
Participation in the Content Working Group is restricted to NDSA member organizations. Contact co-chairs Cathy Hartman and Abbie Grotke to join the working group.
Participants in the working group will engage in the activities of the working group by a number of mechanisms: • Regularly attend and participate in Webex meetings, conference calls and other in-person meetings as scheduling permits. • Provide feedback as needed via the communication tools available to the Working Group in developing the scope of work and on specific defined Working Group activities. • Participate in Action Teams, which may be created around specific tasks. These Action Teams may be self organized by members of the working group and may include non-NDSA members as the work requires. Non-NDSA members will not be participants in the Working Group but may contribute to the activities of any Action Team. Action Teams will update the Working Group about their accomplishments and progress.
Current Scope of Work
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.
