NDSA:Resources for Educators

Back to the NDSA:Digital Preservation in a Box Overview Page

This section provides curriculum guidance, lesson plans and teaching materials that offer specific guidance on how to the use the Box resources in the classroom or in presentations.

Sample Scenarios

• LIS instructors would use these materials to build digital preservation modules for classroom use.
• LIS educators could use these materials to host a “Personal Archiving Day” or digital preservation event at the LIS school during next year’s Preservation Week. [Just thinking – this could be a measurable outcome. How many LIS schools, public libraries used the NDSA toolsuite to host an event next year?]
• LIS students could utilize the materials to develop their own outreach event on campus or at a local/regional library
• Digital Preservation practitioners could use the materials to prepare outreach presentations. Concurrently, NDSA could develop as set of “canned” presentations / library slide deck for all members to use and perform outreach in their organizations as a secondary outcome of this project.
