Abstract: The Library of Congress is engaged in an effort to ensure the health and sustainability of its preservation program. This presentation will explain how the preservation management team re-evaluated and re-imagined its work through a series of workshops, cost studies, and planning exercises. This has led to a new way to respond to changes in immediate operational requirements across strategic planning cycles, while still making progress on large-scale preservation needs. This includes planning for the workforce and fiscal resources needed to maintain a rich array of options for use of the collections over the long term.
Jacob Nadal is the Director for Preservation at the Library of Congress. He was appointed to the position in July 2017. Nadal manages the work of the Directorate’s four Divisions — Collections Management, Conservation, Preservation Services, and Research and Testing — and provides leadership for the Library’s stewardship of the national collections. Before joining the Library of Congress, he was Executive Director of the Research Collections and Preservation Consortium (ReCAP) and he has served in leadership roles and developed preservation programs for the Brooklyn Historical Society, UCLA, New York Public Library, and Indiana University, where he received his Master’s Degree in Library Science. His work has involved developing large-scale cooperative programs to share and preserve research materials, organizing preservation efforts in the aftermath of natural disaster or armed conflict, and developing professional capacity through his service as an educator and work on standards development for many aspects of physical and digital preservation.
Erin Engle has been the Special Assistant to the Director for Preservation at the Library of Congress since 2016. She coordinates with the Director to provide fiscal, operational and strategic program support in the day-to-day management of the Preservation Directorate. Before joining Preservation in her current role, she was a Digital Archivist with the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) Library, which focused on building partnerships and communities around archiving and preserving born-digital content, and where she coordinated and contributed to communications, outreach events, and social media activities. She received a Master’s of Library degree from The Catholic University of America where she did coursework in cultural heritage information management, and her work interests intersect around physical and digital preservation practices and policies to meet the Library’s strategic goals.
