On June 24th and 25th, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) sponsored the forum, "Collaboration in the Digital Age."

This program - organized in cooperation with Heritage Preservation, the Colorado Historical Society, the Denver Public Library, and the Denver Art Museum was part of Connecting to Collections: A Call to Action, an IMLS initiative to save endangered collections in the nation's museums, libraries, archives and historical societies.  This was the second in a series of four national conservation forums that are part of the Connecting to Collections initiative.

"Collaboration in the Digital Age" responded to the needs of these institutions by helping them think strategically and collaboratively about digitization and digital preservation. Speakers reviewed the fundamentals of digital content creation and preservation, emphasizing practical approaches to planning digital projects, increasing access to collections, enabling digital resources to serve multiple purposes, and protecting digital investments.
