About DigCCurr II
The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)-funded project,
"DigCCurr II: Extending an International Digital Curation Curriculum to
Doctoral Students and Practitioners" seeks to develop an international,
doctoral-level curriculum and educational network in the management and
preservation of digital materials across their life cycle. This project will
prepare future faculty to perform research and teach in this area, as well
as provide summer institutes for cultural heritage information professionals
already working in this arena.

procedures found on the SILS Ph.D. Admissions page
