resource of the week: preservation websites

Have you backed up your favorite photos?  Your phone contacts?  Your tax documents?  These days, many items are born digital, meaning they don't have a physical presence.  Amy attended a Digital Preservation workshop at NCLA and has shared a few of her favorite resources she learned about:

North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources -  Visit http://digitalpreservation.ncdcr.gov/ and click on "I create files" and look at the review on good file naming practices.  Click on "more resources" and then "who to follow" to see interesting blog links. (Alternatively, visit http://digitalpreservation.ncdcr.gov/whotofollow.html)

Library of Congress - Visit http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/personalarchiving/
