The mission of NDIIPP is to ensure access over time to a rich body of digital content through the establishment of a national network of partners committed to selecting, collecting and preserving at-risk digital information
What is NDIIPP?

A network of people & organizationsAn architecture for preservation

Identify and preserve at-risk digital content
Develop a national digital collection and preservation strategy
Support development of improved tools, models, and methods for digital preservation
Work with industry, concerned government agencies, libraries, research institutions and not-for-profit entities

That model applies to the development and sustainability of all partnerships and collaborations.

Focus on the need to facilitate integration

EX: Library of Congress roles:
Trusted intermediary
The channel to Congress
Promote the vision and priorities
Your organization has to know its role and responsibilities
![Page 13: Strategies for Establishing Partnerships for Digital Preservation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558df80c1a28ab6c348b45c9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Goal of any Partnership Must be to Learn by Doing
The NDIIPP network has been emergent, not
designed Ownership of digital preservation challenge
must be distributed The Library is regarded as a trusted broker
and convener Benefits of shared expertise and resources
can be gained through collaboration Organizational models depend upon strength
of leadership and commitment Trust is built by working toward a common goal

Example: The National Digital Stewardship Alliance
A collaborative effort among government agencies, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and business entities
![Page 15: Strategies for Establishing Partnerships for Digital Preservation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558df80c1a28ab6c348b45c9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
MissionTo serve as stewards of America’s
national digital collection by collecting, safeguarding, preserving, and ensuring long-term access to historically, culturally, or scientifically significant digital content.

Two Types of Relationships: Members & AssociatesMembers
Organizations that commit to making a sustained contribution to national digital stewardship in one or more roles
Associates Stakeholders who share an interest in
digital preservation, support the Alliance’s mission and are willing to provide expertise

What is Success?
The Success of a partnership will be based on a shared focus on a content domain e.g. geospatial, not on all domains.
General digital preservation issues are better addressed within a content domain rather than as the focus in and of itself.
![Page 25: Strategies for Establishing Partnerships for Digital Preservation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558df80c1a28ab6c348b45c9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What is Success?
Success must be measured in concrete goals and deliverables that are widely and openly distributed.
Success is also measured in enthusiasm, participation, and in adoption by the community.

Examples of Goals and Success from the NDSA
Identify content already preserved, investigate guidelines for the selection of significant content, enable discovery of at-risk digital content or collections, and match orphan content with NDSA partners who will acquire the content, preserve it, and provide access to it.
A working registry of content already preserved by NDSA members.
A clearinghouse that will enable a variety of stakeholders (content producers, archives and libraries and other potential preservationists) to identify and adopt at-risk collections
Content

InfrastructureBuild a community for sharing information and best practices about the development and maintenance of tools and systems for the curation, preservation, storage, hosting, migration, or similar activities for the long term preservation of digital content.
A resource for sharing and documenting emerging practices for use and development and sharing of open source tools and
other software that enable digital preservation as well as computer forensic tools that enable digital preservation; and
potential preservation use of large-scale storage and cloud infrastructures.
