Maintenance Culture (MC) is a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) funded program created by Myriad, a non-profit consulting organization that seeks to help smaller cultural heritage institutions preserve their collections. The focus of MC is on building a community of practice around the preservation of creative complex, born-digital objects. With several in-person skillshare and workshop events planned in major cities across the United States, MC seeks to assist creators and cultural heritage professionals (such as archivists and curators) to build off existing digital preservation knowledge and apply them to a variety of time-based media objects.
Texas Digital Library’s Digital Preservation Services Users and other Texas-based workers interested in digital preservation topics meet quarterly on the third Thursday of the month from 2:00 PM to 2:50 PM.
