The team at Special Collections and University Archives have made major efforts to address digital preservation needs within the libraries and have expanded the level of support we can offer to Middle Tennessee community groups. We have made this real in the fall of 2023 by hiring Sarah Calise as Metadata Coordinator and Curator of Community Histories who is explicitly tasked with working with local underrepresented communities to expand our community collections. Furthermore, we have acquired new high-quality digitization equipment, and we are continuing to spend significant staff hours documenting a digital preservation strategy, alongside developing comprehensive policies, procedures, and standards.</p> </div><!-- close show-for-medium-up --> <a href="/blog/wdpd/blog-zach-johnson-wdpd2024" class="button">Read More</a> </div><!-- close listing 1 --> <div class="listing"> <h3><a href="/blog/wdpd/blog-amanda-tome-wdpd2024">Community Resources and File Format Signature Development</a></h3> <div class="author_block" data-equalizer="author"> <div class="news-author" data-equalizer-watch="author"> <img src="https://dpconline.b-cdn.net/images/comprofiler/3772_6729f218109f5.jpg" alt="Amanda Tomé" title="Amanda Tomé" class="cbImgPict cbFullPict img-thumbnail rounded-circle cbImgAvatar" /> </div> <div class="author_cont" data-equalizer-watch="author"> <div class="vert_center"> <div class="news_cont"> <h3 class="no_marg"><a href="/component/comprofiler/userprofile?tab=10">Amanda Tomé</a></h3> <p class="date no_marg">Last updated on 6 November 2024</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="show-for-medium-up"><!--<p><strong>Amanda Tomé is Preservation Coordinator for the <a href="https://alliancecan.ca/en">Digital Research Alliance of Canada</a></strong></p> <hr /> <h2>Background</h2> <p>2024 is the year of file formats for the <a href="https://alliancecan.ca/en">Digital Research Alliance of Canada’s</a> <a href="https://www.frdr-dfdr.ca/repo/">Federated Research Data Repository</a> (FRDR).
