In 2018, the Digital Preservation Outreach and Education Network (DPOE-N) moved from its original home with the Library of Congress, to Pratt Institute and NYU’s Moving Image Archiving & Preservation program. In 2020, with generous two year funding from Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the initiative expanded. Presently, progress has been made and we are able to report back to the community on our activities in furthering digital preservation educational resources, and future plans. This poster will describe the project goals, evaluate the level of success, and articulate the challenges. The poster will also describe actions taken to facilitate a network of learning among scholars, archival peers as well as testimonials of those who have been awarded micro-grants, emergency hardware funding, and participants in workshops held by DPOE-N. Then we will discuss future initiatives and share more details to the community, or if you have already participated, solicit feedback on your experience.
