Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies Reading Group
with the authors of "What's Wrong with Digital Stewardship"

Join us for a lively discussion of the article "What's Wrong with Digital Stewardship: Evaluating the Organization of Digital Preservation Programs from Practitioners' Perspectives." 

In 2012 and 2017 the National Digital Stewardship Alliance surveyed organizations engaged in digital preservation to better understand existing staffing levels and needs. As a result, they discovered a high level of dissatisfaction amongst practitioners. In this article, the authors set out to design a study that would help elucidate potential causes for practitioners' dissatisfaction with their institutions digital preservation programs.
