Ford Conservation Center 1326 South 32 Street, Omaha, Nebraska And The Nebraska State Historical Society 1500 R Street Lincoln, Nebraska The workshop is funded in part by the National Endowment for Humanities. The workshop is hosted by the Nebraska State Historical Society As we approach and enter the 21st century, digital technologies will have a profound impact on the way institutions provide access to information. But will digitization also become a tool of the preservation community? NEDCC's reformatting workshop will address this question. The workshop will explore two reformatting technologies: preservation microfilming and digital imaging. The similarities and marked differences of the technologies will be compared and evaluated. The faculty will discuss lessons learned from preservation microfilming projects that can be applied to digital imaging projects. The workshop is designed to train project administrators in institutions to plan, implement, and manage reformatting projects. Instruction will focus on decision making skills. Compliance with national standards and RLG guidelines for preservation microfilming will be emphasized and the =22best practice=22 for digital projects will be discussed. It is not a technician training program. The program teaches skills for: =B7 planning reformatting projects =B7 selecting and preparing materials =B7 microfilm technology =B7 introductory digital imaging technology =B7 inspection and quality control =B7 evaluating digital imaging for preservation Presented by: Susan Wrynn, Director of Reprographic Services, Northeast Document Conservation Center=3B Stephen Chapman, preservation Librarian for Digital Projects, Harvard University=3B Becky Ryder, Preservation Librarian, University of Kentucky=3B Bob Mottice, President, Mottice Micrographics, Inc.=3B and guest speaker, Jill Koelling, Assistant Curator of Photographs and Audio Visual Collections, Nebraska State Historical Society.
