Upcoming NDSR Symposium “Emerging Trends in Digital Stewardship”: Speaker Announcements

The following is a guest post by Jaime McCurry, National Digital Stewardship Resident at the Folger Shakespeare Library.

It’s certainly been an exciting and busy few months for the National Digital Stewardship Residents and although we are well into the final portion of our projects, we’re showing no signs of slowing down.

In addition to our regularly scheduled programming on The Signal, you can find the residents on the web and elsewhere talking digital stewardship and providing project updates:

• Julia Blase discusses her project status at the National Security Archive in Forward…March!
• Heidi Dowding discusses the most recent NDSR Enrichment Session, hosted this month at Dumbarton Oaks.
• Continuing with the Resident-to-Resident Interview Series, Maureen McCormick Harlow (National Library of Medicine) interviews Emily Reynolds on the specifics of her project at the World Bank.
• Emily Reynolds recaps a recent NDSR site-visit to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
• Erica Titkemeyer (Smithsonian Institute) discusses Handling Digital Assets in Time Based Media Art.
• I’m talking web archiving at the Folger Shakespeare Library.
• You can catch Lauren Work (PBS) and Julia Blase (National Security Archive) at the Spring CNI meeting later this month.
• And finally, residents Margo Padilla (MITH), Molly Schwartz (ARL), Erica Titkemeyer (Smithsonian Institute), and Lauren Work (PBS) are New Voices in Digital Curation in April.
