Introduction to Appraising Born-Digital Records

The session will include an introduction to types of born-digital materials, an overview of the importance of preserving born-digital content, development of archival appraisal workflows, an overview of various open-source tools to assist with archival appraisal tasks. The webinar will focus heavily on workflows and decision-making for approaching archival appraisal and will provide an overview of resources for further consideration.

This webinar will draw heavily on the Digital POWRR approach to archival appraisal of born digital content.

If you are not familiar with Archival Appraisal, the CARLI Archives Committee encourages you to watch the recording of The Power of Appraisal: Selecting Archives. The recording is available in the Training section of the CARLI Archives and Special Collections Resources page.
