Clearinghouse Action Team (Group B)

Description of Work

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.

At the December 8th call, it was decided that this group would start with determining what specific types of content or collections are at risk.
