Are you a museum, library, or archive professional responsible for the long-term preservation of the digitally printed materials? If so, then you’ll want to attend the Image Permanence Institute’s Digital Print Preservation seminar on Monday April 15, 2019 at the Smithsonian Institution.

Daniel Burge from the Image Permanence Institute will be presenting a short course on the preservation of digitally printed materials for those in need of a broad summary of the issues involved with digital print collection care. Topics to be covered will include definition of the term digital print, the history and technologies of the most common digital printers, the variety of possible formats, likely forms of deterioration, general recommendations for care, as well as suggested naming conventions and descriptive terminology for cataloging and other records. Ample time for in-class discussions will be given to ensure that all questions can be raised and addressed.

This afternoon seminar is open to all regional cultural heritage professionals responsible for the care, collection, and curation of digitally printed materials.

The event will be held in the Nan Tucker McEvoy Auditorium at the Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture located at 8th & F Streets NW Washington, DC 20001.
