Securing remote acquisitions: Christina Velazquez Fidler

Acquiring born-digital collections in a remote environment requires new approaches and system dependencies.

Many of these approaches are now regular practice in the current hybrid environment. Christina will discuss the Digital Archivist’s Resource Tool (DART) and other tools being utilized to secure remote acquisitions through the context of selected collections.
