Overview

Use of email permeates all aspects of modern life and scholarship. Email increasingly forms significant parts of Library collections and records programs. Specialized attention is necessary to ensure the long-term stewardship of these materials. Digital Preservation Services (DPS) is hosting an email archiving training cohort for Harvard staff from Fall 2024 - Winter 2025. The cohort will be limited to 20 participants to facilitate focused discussions, live virtual workshops, and to streamline resolution of technical issues.

...

• Participants acquire a deeper understanding of how to steward email in their collections, including how to use tools to acquire, appraise, process, preserve, and offer discovery and access for users 

• Learning materials are documented and recorded to enable future reference and asynchronous participation for all staff members 

  • Note: This only applies to the live trainings and presentations, and there will be privacy options for staff that prefer not to be recorded - cohort-specific meetings will not be recorded 

• Future born-digital training efforts will be equipped with a pilot cohort and training curriculum to build and iterate on for an emerging community of practice

...
