Agenda

NEDCC (Northeast Document Conservation Center) provides several different types of assessment services to its nationwide client base of cultural heritage institutions. Ann Marie Willer, Director of Preservation Services at NEDCC, will discuss NEDCC’s digital preservation assessment services, including newly developed frameworks for consultant-led assessments and peer-to-peer assessments, as well as freely available resources related to both. The frameworks and resources were developed as part of an NEH-funded grant project and were piloted in eighteen institutions from Alaska to North Carolina during 2017 and 2018.
