The Community Archiving Workshop (CAW) model has always been intended to engage both trained professionals and anyone with home movies or other creative works stored on film, video, audio, or digital media objects. This webinar will give an overview of the history of the CAW committee, explain the basic workshop model, and summarize current work through grant-funded projects which are building heavily on the original workshop model and pushing it forward to focus on long-term preservation planning assistance and tools.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Understand where CAW came from, how the committee operates, and what the basic workshop model is
- Learn about current grant-funded projects and how these efforts are utilizing and expanding the original CAW model
