Apply NOW to the Digital POWRR Digital Preservation Professional Development Institute!


(Apologies for cross-posting. Please distribute widely!)


The Digital POWRR team invites applications for the third of five upcoming in-person, 2.5 day digital preservation training institutes. The third Institute will be held June 5-7 at the Edmon Low Library at Oklahoma State University Library<http://www.library.okstate.edu/> in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Due to the generosity of the National Endowment for the Humanities<https://www.neh.gov/>, the Institutes are offered free of charge and travel stipends are available!

An ideal candidate for a POWRR institute fits some of these descriptions:

  *   Someone who works directly with collections, including digital materials

  *   Someone who has been exposed to basic digital preservation concepts, but struggles with moving from theory to practice

  *   Someone who represents or serves historically underrepresented populations

  *   Someone who is comfortable with basic technology (navigating a basic computing environment), but would benefit from instruction on more intermediate concepts

  *   Someone employed by an institution unable to provide professional development funding adequate to attend other digital preservation training opportunities

  *   Someone who would benefit from being a part of a small cohort of professionals like themselves, and who will put forth effort into sustaining these professional connections after the end of the Institute
