Personal Digital Preservation Basics

Our photos, recordings, and paper documents are a vital link to the past, and the information we create today has the same value. The only difference is that much of it is now digital. Chances are that you want to keep some digital photos, videos, and other files so that you—and your family—can look at them in the future.

Offered by the Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship, this workshop will provide some resources and high-level tips on how to plan for backing up and organizing your own personal digital materials in order to preserve your “born digital” information and make it last for future generations.
