    Building a Collaborative Curation Framework: Working Towards Sustainable Digital Stewardship
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-11-02) Parham, Susan Wells ; Hagenmaier, Wendy ; Blewer, Ashley
    This presentation will discuss lessons learned from an academic research library’s endeavor to reconsider curation work holistically – across siloed content types, processes, systems, and departments. Georgia Tech team members will explore insights from our efforts working with Artefactual Systems to reimagine and sustain digital stewardship work across existing organizational silos.

    retroTECH Online Project Summary, 2018-2020
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-06) Hagenmaier, Wendy ; Gerke, Maura ; Pellerin, Amanda ; Thompson, Jody ; Virmani, Richa
    From 2018-2020, the Georgia Tech Library was part of an Institute of Museum and Library Services-funded cohort of six organizations--the Guggenheim Museum, Living Computers: Museum + Labs, the University of Arizona, the University of Illinois, and the University of Virginia--exploring the key challenges to providing long-term access to software-dependent cultural heritage. The grant project, Fostering a Community of Practice (FCoP): Software Preservation and Emulation Experts in Libraries, Archives, and Museums (IMLS grant RE-95-17-0058-17), aimed to broaden participation in software preservation, advance digital preservation practice, and inform field-wide understanding. Under the umbrella of its retroTECH initiative, which provides access to vintage technologies and seeks to inspire a culture of long-term thinking, the Georgia Tech Library’s project has been to create a proof-of-concept for retroTECH Online, a web presence through which patrons can utilize software from retroTECH’s collections for teaching and learning, explore the stories surrounding that software, and foster a virtual retroTECH community. The project team used oral history and emulation to tell the stories of several software innovations created by Georgia Tech community members--from the graphical simulation that helped win Atlanta's 1996 Olympics bid to Game Boy Advance games coded by current students mastering computer science.

    Re-purposing Archival Theory in the Practice of Data Curation
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-02-25) Rolando, Lizzy ; Hagenmaier, Wendy ; Parham, Susan Wells
    The research data sharing imperative has produced an explosion of interest around institutional research data curation and archiving. For institutions seeking to capture their intellectual output and ensure compliance with funding agency requirements, data archiving and data curation are increasingly necessary. With some notable exceptions, data curation in academic institutions is still a fairly nascent field, lacking the theoretical underpinnings of disciplines like archival science. As has been previously noted elsewhere, the intersection between data curation and archival theory provides data curators and digital archivists alike with important theoretical and practical contributions that can challenge, contextualize, or reinforce past, present, and future theory. Archival theory has critical implications for defining the workflows that should be established for an institutional data curation program. The Georgia Institute of Technology Library and Archives has been developing the services and infrastructure to support trustworthy data curation and born-digital archives. As the need for archiving research data has increased, the intersection between data curation and digital archives has become progressively apparent; therefore, we sought to bring archival theory to bear on our data curation workflows, and to root the actions taken against research data collections in long-standing archival theory. By examining two different cases of digital archiving and by mapping core archival concepts to elements of data curation, we explored the junction of data curation and archival theory and are applying the resulting theoretical framework in our practice. In turn, this work also leads us to question long held archival assumptions and improve workflows for born-digital archival collections.
