Registration is open for the Michigan Digital Preservation Network’s (MDPN) symposium, Creating a Blueprint for Accessible Digital Preservation: Learnings from the Michigan Digital Preservation Network’s IMLS Grant Activities, on March 26 at the Library of Michigan!  

The MDPN welcomes network members, grant collaborators, and anyone interested in learning more about the MDPN’s collaborative approach to making digital preservation easy for non-technical users. Space is limited, so don’t delay! MDPN members will receive a code for free registration. 

Funds to support travel to the symposium are available through the MDPN via the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Attendees can apply for funds via the Financial Assistance Form. While MDPN members and symposium presenters will receive priority funding, this opportunity is open to all attendees! 

This symposium serves as one of the deliverables of the MDPN’s National Leadership Grant awarded by IMLS, which sought to build a replicable model for a statewide or regional digital preservation network. The program will feature panels and discussion by MDPN members and grant collaborators focused on preservation use cases, technical implementation, and future steps. Learn more about the MDPN, our grant activities, and our member community on our website at MIpres.org.
