Join us for a webinar that takes an in-depth look at what defines a successful digital collection. Drawing on examples from New York Heritage Digital Collections and other repositories, we will examine current standards and best practices. This webinar will cover each stage of the digitization process, from selecting materials to creating metadata and digital objects.
Successful digital preservation programs consider more than technical solutions. Good planning and documentation are critical to establishing and sustaining an organization's commitment to preserving digital content. This webinar will provide an introduction to digital preservation with a focus on the non-technical components of starting a digital preservation program. Topics covered include: assessing organizational needs and capacity; creating a digital asset inventory; and developing digital preservation policies, plans, and procedures.
The DHPSNY Antiracism Programming in 2024 is structured around both the AASLH Making History at 250 Field Guide and the New York State 250th Field Guide. Our guiding question for 2024 is: How do we make our collecting organizations interdisciplinary and representative of the realities of our many New York histories?
This program invites participants to grapple with what it means to provide relevant content, exhibits, programs, and practices as we prepare to commemorate the 250th. Specifically, this program invites participants to understand their material culture and documents in new ways that allow us to evolve our interpretations and understanding of our communities’ histories, read sources against the grain, grapple with how our sources have been read differently in different eras. The September program is designed for anyone who works in or volunteers for a library, archive, museum, historical society, or history/culture site in New York State.

New York State is the home to much of the nation’s historical memory about issues and topics we still discuss and debate today, including immigration, LGBTQ+ rights and safety, segregation, incarceration, human rights, and Indigenous genocide, among other things.
