Recollection Wisconsin is now accepting applications from Wisconsin
libraries, archives, museums and historical societies to participate in
Year Two of our IMLS-funded Curating Community Digital Collections
<https://recollectionwisconsin.org/digipres> (CCDC) program. In 2019, CCDC
will support a cohort of ten teams. Each team will include a graduate
student from the iSchool at UW-Madison or the School of Information Studies
at UW-Milwaukee, a professional mentor and a supervisor from the Host Site.
Host Sites will work cooperatively with skilled mentors and graduate
students, receive digital preservation training from experts in the field,
develop and implement digital preservation best practices, policies and
workflows and join a larger network dedicated to building community around
digital preservation work. Our Host Sites in 2018 included the Barron
County Historical Society
<https://recollectionwisconsin.org/tag/ccdc-team-barron-county>, Manitowoc
County Historical Societ
<https://recollectionwisconsin.org/tag/ccdc-team-manitowoc-county>y and Roc
k
County Historical Society
<https://recollectionwisconsin.org/tag/ccdc-team-rock-county>.
CCDC participants are required to attend an immersion workshop in Madison
May 21-23, 2019 (expenses paid), supervise an information school graduate
student during summer 2019, have a critical mass of born-digital or
digitized content that needs preservation treatment, and commit to
sustaining digital preservation work beyond summer. *Please note: This is
not a digitization program. You must already have digital content to
participate. CCDC projects do not support new or continuing scanning or
reformatting efforts.*
Prospective Host Sites are invited to submit a draft application by *Decemb
