Digital Curation webinar with Jason Scott

UMaine's Digital Curation program invites you to a free webinar with Jason Scott, who has been called "the figurehead of the digital archiving world." Apart from his day job at the Internet Archive, Scott's fingerprints can be found on some of most promising initiatives in digital preservation today, from spearheading the effort to emulate vintage platforms in the browser to his boldly proactive approach to rescuing vast swathes of digital culture from oblivion. Although he’s a leader in emulation and open access, he may be best known as the charismatic frontman for Archive Team, a crowdsourcing initiative that has saved more of digital culture for posterity than most of the world's museums and libraries combined.
