Adapting Digital Standards: Empowering small, volunteer & community groups Webinar

Webinar took place on 26 December 2024
This talk will explore the DRI's Guide to Archiving Digital Records for Volunteer and Community Groups publication - co created by archival practice experts and using person-centred approaches devised through the DRI's Community Archive Scheme training resources. The guide provides clear, easy to follow and accessible instructions and advice for small organisations with limited resources, enabling them to make the best use of what resources they have and to preserve a cross-section of their digital records. It aims to enable small groups to organise their materials in such a way that if they have the opportunity to deposit them in a trusted digital repository, they will have well-organised collections in accessible and interoperable formats.
