This afternoon we concluded DHPSNY's education programming for 2016 with Introduction to Digitization, a webinar packed with helpful information to guide you through the essentials of digital preservation. Tamara Talansky, Preservation and Imaging Project Coordinator at the Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts, offered insights on a range of topics, from the basics of scanning and storage to equipment and software recommendations, copyright compliance, metadata best practices, and more. Thanks again to everyone who attended and joined in for the Q&A!
