Digital Preservation Drop-in Center:

Don’t know where to start? We didn’t either! The Digital Preservation Drop-in Center is a place where you can ask questions that you have about digital archives, preservation, best practices, tools, standards, training, and how to get started. Members of the Electronic Records Section, Metadata and Digital Objects Roundtable, SNAP, and Women Archivists Roundtable are on hand to answer your questions!

Archival Education and More: 

Information tables are available within the Networking Café for graduate archival education programs and allied organizations to distribute program literature and have representatives answer questions one on one.  Take this opportunity to make connections in a conversational setting.
