<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">In today’s world computers and the digital records they create are used by a wide variety of individuals and for multiple purposes. Family photos are created
as digital images and email and word-processing documents have replaced traditional paper records in many organizations.
<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">This first workshop, Identify, will cover basic steps and techniques for identifying digital content and will provide instruction on creating a digital content
inventory. Knowing the digital content you have is the first step in developing a plan to ensure your content is available both now and into the future. Subsequent workshops will cover additional steps in the digital content preservation process. All workshops
will be lead by Austin Schulz of the State Archives staff. Austin recently attended the Digital Preservation Outreach and Education training at the Library of Congress. The training was part of a national effort to encourage individuals and organizations to
actively preserve their digital content and consists of five modules geared toward individuals seeking a basic introduction to digital content preservation.
