The Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) is pleased to announce the continuation of the digital preservation training program developed at Cornell University. The expanded program, now maintained by ICPSR, is based on the Cornell curriculum is supported with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The program consists of an online tutorial and a one-week workshop to be held in Ann Arbor, MI, the home of ICPSR. ICPSR is the world's largest archive of social science data and is part of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. The primary goal of this program is to enable effective decision making for administrators who will be responsible for the longevity of digital objects in an age of technological uncertainty.

The Digital Preservation Management workshop series is intended for those who are contemplating or implementing digital preservation programs in libraries, archives, and other cultural institutions. The goals of this initiative are to foster critical thinking in a technological realm and to provide the means for exercising practical and responsible stewardship of digital assets.
