    About

    The Harvard Library Digital Stewardship Reading Club is an informal, monthly gathering of colleagues interested in discussing trends and topics relevant to digital stewardship.

    Selections are generally brief enough to be casually read or watched, such as scholarly papers, long-form blog posts, conference presentations, or even chapters from publications. Participation is open to the Harvard community, and each month attendees are asked to come prepared for a discussion on that month's reading selection. 

    Persons with accessibility questions or requests may contact the DPS team in advance of the meeting.
