A Roadmap for Building a Collaborative Regional Preservation Network

Dr. Chelsea Denault, Michigan Digital Preservation Network NDSA Digital Preservation 2025 Conference Session 2B3 The Michigan Digital Preservation Network (MDPN) was created with the shared goals of making digital preservation more accessible to small or underresourced organizations that needed a way to preserve their unique and at-risk cultural memory materials, while reducing redundant preservation efforts across the state. With a vision to build easy workflows for users without robust technical or archival skills, a sustainable technical infrastructure, and a governance model that prioritized community, the MDPN successfully applied for a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in 2022. Presenters will share insights from their IMLS Implementation Grant "Demonstrating and Documenting a Statewide LOCKSS 2.0 Preservation Network for Cultural Memory Institutions,” including community formation and visioning, technical implementation using the new LOCKSS 2.0 software, tiered funding model to accommodate severely underresourced organizations, and approachable, collaborative documentation efforts. The presentation will also share details about MDPN’s preservation storage grant for digitized materials that were considered to be at-risk or that documented underrepresented communities as a way to serve the cultural memory community in Michigan, collaborate with potential future network members, and “road test” our workflows with a range of users. Presenters will also address how the uncertainty around the future of IMLS impacted our work, and how we’re collaborating with nascent networks like GinkoNet to build a service that isn’t dependent on federal funding.
