PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY: STEWARDSHIP OF DIGITAL ASSETS
A pre-conference to the Museum Computer Network's 2005 Conference
November 1-2, 2005

WHAT IS PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY?

This conference, taught by leading experts in digital preservation,
addresses the question of managing and preserving digital assets over the
long term. Institutions are rapidly acquiring collections of digitized or
born-digital resources.  Without intervention, these materials will not
survive even a single human career.  Participants will learn about evolving
best practices for digital preservation.  This conference will help
institutions take the next steps to preserve their investment and create a
framework for ensuring sustainable collections. The conference is
co-sponsored by the Museum Computer Network (MCN) as a pre-conference to MCN
's 2005 Conference, "Digits Fugit! Preserving Knowledge into the Future."

CONFERENCE TOPICS INCLUDE:

Mandates for Digital Preservation
Internal Cooperation and External Consortia

Technology: Storage and Backup
Financing Digital Preservation
Legal, Economic, and Moral Obligations
Sustaining Digital Preservation

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Museum professionals, librarians, archivists, information technology
professionals, and administrators responsible for managing and preserving
digital resources.

WHAT DOES THE NEDCC CONFERENCE COST?  $285.

To encourage diverse participation in the Persistence of Memory conference,
NEDCC is pleased to offer a limited number of scholarships to cover the cost
of registration. In awarding the scholarships, particular attention will be
given to diverse professionals, applicants from under-funded organizations,
