In a jam with digital preservation? Wondering how to make a start? Need advice on moving from an awareness of the challenges to positive actions? This informal, Members-only workshop is for you!
This new workshop in our ‘RAM Jam’ series is aimed at those who would like advice and guidance on moving up to the ‘basic’ level (level 2) of DPC’s Rapid Assessment Model.
The Rapid Assessment Model is DPC’s maturity model for digital preservation. It is assumed that attendees have some knowledge of DPC RAM and may have already carried out their own self-assessment and gained an understanding of current strengths and weaknesses within their organization.
For a quick introduction to DPC RAM before the event please watch the short introductory video below.
During the workshop each of the eleven sections of DPC RAM will be introduced and a short case study will be provided from a panel member who’s organization has recently moved forward in this section. Speakers will share their own experiences of making progress with RAM, discussing what they did to move up a level and sharing any tips, tricks, tools and resources that helped. There will be time allocated for further discussion of each section and an opportunity for all attendees to share their own experiences and ask questions.
To maintain the confidentiality of Member’s DPC RAM self-assessments this workshop will be conducted under Chatham House Rules.
