NDSA Interest Groups meet quarterly on a rotating schedule. Meetings are held via Zoom and are open to all. You are invited to attend to learn more about digital preservation, to meet colleagues in other organizations, and to keep up to date on NDSA. Meeting registration is not used, so you are free to drop in as your schedule permits. The three Interest groups focus on the following areas: Infrastructure, Standards and Practices, and Content. Please visit the group webpages to learn more about each interest group, including links to meeting agendas and notes, which includes Zoom meeting information.
