National Digital Stewardship Alliance
The National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) is launching a collaborative national alliance to support long-term access to digital content. Building upon the experiences of 10 years of NDIIPP partner projects, the new initiative will leverage the best practices and relationships for expanding the stewardship of digital collections to a wider community.
The National Digital Stewardship Alliance (NDSA) is a collaborative effort among government agencies, educational institutions, non-profit organizations and businesses to preserve a distributed national digital collection for the benefit of present and future generations.

Members worked together to draft, revise, and ratify the Charter Documents that organize the Alliance. Notes from the Organizing Workshop reflect some of the thought that went into the draft documents.
Members of the Alliance pledge to work together to make a sustained contribution to digital stewardship action implemented through the working groups. There is no fee for membership, contribution is made though work.
Join with other organizations committed to the preservation of the nation's digital heritage to share expertise, tools and practices to benefit your local efforts while contributing to the stewardship of a grouping national collection of diverse digital content.
