This presentation will feature members of the steering committee of the MetaArchive of Southern Digital Culture. They will discuss plans for their collaborative digital preservation network funded as a partnership by the Library of Congress’s National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program. This partnership, headed by Emory University, is a test-bed implementation of a collaborative digital preservation network by six different academic institutions (Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Virginia Tech, Florida State University, University of Louisville, Auburn University) and the Library of Congress. The program will feature highlights from the early planning stages of this project, including timelines and deliverables, as well as ideas for future activities that will be generated from work on this exciting collaborative model.
