SUMMARY:National DPC RAM Benchmarking Project : Kick Off Webinar [IN FRENCH]
DESCRIPTION:Date: April 8\, 2026\nTime: 2:00pm – 3:00pm ET \nRegistration \nAre you interested in building your organization’s digital preservation capabilities? Join the second phase of the National DPC RAM Benchmarking Project\, facilitated by the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL). This project empowers institutions across Canada engaged in digital preservation at any level to collectively build capacity\, set goals for continuous improvement\, and contribute to a snapshot of the current state of digital preservation in Canada. \nWhy Benchmarking? \nBenchmarking digital preservation capabilities is integral to continuous improvement of digital preservation programs. Whether your institution is just getting started or has been engaged in digital preservation activities for some time\, benchmarking is an opportunity to see where you are and where your organization can grow. \nWhat is the DPC RAM? \nThe Digital Preservation Coalition’s (DPC) Rapid Assessment Model (RAM) is a digital preservation maturity modelling tool that allows for rapid benchmarking of an organization’s digital preservation capability. The model is designed to be approachable and adaptable for a wide range of institutions and contexts\, and to facilitate continuous improvement over time. \nWho can participate? \nLibraries\, archives\, repositories\, museums\, galleries and other Canadian organizations engaged in digital preservation at any level are invited to complete the assessment\, irrespective of CARL membership. If this is your first benchmarking exercise\, we are here to support you! CARL’s Digital Preservation Working Group (DPWG) will provide support to organizations completing the assessment by sharing resources and hosting office hours. \nCARL members who submitted their results as part of phase 1 do not need to resubmit. Submissions from phase 1 will be included in the data analysis of phase 2. \nJoin us for an overview of the project\, facilitated by Amanda Tomé\, Digital Research Alliance of Canada\, and Sarah Lake\, Concordia University and CARL Visiting Program Officer for Digital Preservation. The kick off webinar will provide participants with a background to the project and the DPC RAM\, take participants through resources created by the CARL DPWG\, provide an overview of the office hours process and provide a forum for participants to ask questions. \nThis webinar will be held in French. An English language call will take place on April 7 at 1:00pm – 2:00pm. Note that presentations will be recorded but the discussion period will not.
