PDA Event: Metadata for Digital Preservation

Metadata, and especially preservation metadata encompassing the technical and administrative aspects of description, is essential for providing continued access to your digital objects. It provides assurance that digital objects are authentic, renderable, and useable. This webinar serves as a starting point for understanding the kinds of information you will want to gather to support digital preservation, using current guidelines, standards, and models in the field to identify core information required to steward digital objects over time. 

The BLC is proud to partner with the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) for this series of five virtual programs on digital preservation practices.
