Annually, the Library of Congress gathers leading experts and institutions to gain insight as to emerging technological trends, gaps in digital stewardship capacities and opportunities for future work for digital preservation professionals, decision-makers and others interested in ongoing management of digital content. The result is the publication of the National Agenda for Digital Stewardship (NSDA). The Agenda outlines the challenges and opportunities related to digital preservation activities in four broad areas: Organizational Roles, Policies, and Practices; Digital Content Areas; Infrastructure Development; and Research Priorities. In addition, this report identifies the need to develop a “shared evidence base” that can facilitate research and developing sound infrastructures and policy. Over the coming year the NDSA will work to promote the Agenda and explore educational and collaborative opportunities with all interested parties. An Executive Summary is also available.
