Program Goal
As libraries and other types of organizations begin digitizing their local and special collection materials, this frequently means that librarians and library assistants find themselves working with archival and manuscript materials for which they have no training. Understanding how archival collections are appraised, handled, arranged, described, and preserved better prepares library staff for working with these unique materials. Similarly, libraries and other cultural heritage organizations today must ensure that digital information of long term value, both “born digital” and reformatted content, is preserved to remain accessible and usable over time. This Certificate of Achievement expands on the coursework of the Digitization Skills Certificate to include archival practices, digital image editing and digital preservation skills sets that will better prepare students for work in archives, special collections and the digitization field.
