The National Digital Stewardship Residency (NDSR) Advisory Board is here to support your vision for digital stewardship. We look forward to facilitating future iterations of the influential NDSR program model that can bring much needed exploration, expertise, and guidance to your organizations, professions, and information and preservation sectors, starting with live opportunities to learn more.
Since 2013, NDSR has provided a model to catalyze projects and extend community capabilities in information, memory, and cultural heritage organizations. Regional and thematic alliances have formed around creating and completing grant-funded projects that demonstrate the possibilities of stewarding born-digital resources from acquisition through access and long-term preservation. See NDSR’s current and completed residencies to to learn much more about these cohorts of hosts, residents, and their projects. All residencies have to date been funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program (LB21). Looking forward to LB21’s next deadline for 2-page preliminary proposals in September, the NDSR Advisory Board offers its advice and resources to enhance your proposals to this and other funding sources.
NDSR cohorts have been devised, proposed, and administered by a community of forward-thinking organizations and consortia: the Library of Congress; the Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO); Harvard University Library and MIT Libraries; the Biodiversity Heritage Library; the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB); the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Now we look to you lead the next iteration. The NDSR Advisory Board will provide advice for organizing, funding, and managing your vision of emerging digital stewardship opportunities.
