*******************
The Chronicles in Preservation project ( <http://metaarchive.org/neh>
http://metaarchive.org/neh) is seeking further reviews and comments on the
Guidelines for Digital Newspaper Preservation Readiness. This is the first
major deliverable from this three-year project (2011-2014) funded by the
National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to research and document a
series of preservation readiness steps for digital newspaper curators. The
review period end date has now been extended to September 30, 2013 so that
we can receive as many comments as possible. Reviewers now have the option
of requesting a PDF for offline reading (more info below).

About the Guidelines
The Guidelines for Digital Newspaper Preservation Readiness seek to address
digital preservation standards and digital newspaper technical
guidelines/practices across a spectrum of readiness options. The Guidelines
are geared toward improving preservation readiness for both digitized and
born-digital newspaper content. We hope they will be helpful for a wide
range of stakeholder institutions (including commercial news publishers),
particularly traditional memory stewards such as libraries, archives, and
historical societies.

How to Review
Interested digital preservation practitioners and experts/curators working
in the area of managing and preserving digital news and newspapers are
encouraged to review and supply online comments at their leisure between
July 22-September 30, 2013. We encourage all comments to be submitted via
the CommentPress form in the right sidebar (name and email address are
required). Reviewers may also request a PDF for offline reading using the
form on the online cover page. 

As the Introduction to the Guidelines states:

We need content curators to help us understand what we've missed (we know
there are gaps!) and what we've nailed. We want to know where you need more
guidance and where you need less description. We want you to point us
towards other resources in the field we may have missed, and above all, we
want you to engage with us and with each other to make the final Guidelines
as useful as they can possibly be.



Chronicles in Preservation Partners
The Chronicles in Preservation project is being led by the Educopia
Institute (host for the MetaArchive Cooperative), along with the San Diego
Supercomputer Center and the libraries of University of North Texas, Penn
State, Virginia Tech, University of Utah, Georgia Tech, Boston College, and
Clemson University.
