Northeast Document Conservation Center Presents:


PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY: STEWARDSHIP OF DIGITAL ASSETS

December 5-6, 2006
The Marriott University Park Hotel
Tucson, Arizona

***************************************************************************
THE PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY conference, taught by leading experts in digital 
preservation, addresses the question of managing and preserving digital 
assets over the long term. Institutions are rapidly acquiring collections of 
digitized and born-digital resources. Without intervention, these materials 
will not survive even a single human career. This conference will highlight 
evolving best practices for digital preservation and will help institutions 
take the next steps to preserve their investment.

Conference cost:  $325

Registration deadline:  Friday, November 10, 2006

***********************************************************************************
SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE:
To encourage diverse participation in the Persistence of Memory conference,

will be given to diverse professionals, applicants from under-funded 
organizations, and applicants from organizations that serve 
under-represented communities.  The scholarship application deadline is 
November 1, 2006.
