During this webinar facilitated by the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC), instructor Katherine Fisher will cover topics that support the curation of born digital content across its lifecycle, including how to identify rights, transfer content and its ownership to a repository, document and preserve significant properties, and maintain the security and integrity of content over time. Identifying appropriate methods for access will also be covered.

Participants will conclude the session with an understanding of the requirements for appraising, transferring, processing, and maintaining the security of born digital collections over time. The webinar will include time for participant Q&A.
