Peer Services Community
As part of a broader strategy to build digital preservation capacity among COPPUL members, the Peer Services Community (PSC) has been tasked with fostering a vibrant community of practice, and connecting members with professional development opportunities.
Join the community mailing list to stay up-to-date on upcoming events!
Communication Channels
The Peer Services Community is an inclusive community of practice with membership open to any interested individual. Members and allied GLAM partners are encouraged to join our mailing list for news about upcoming events, information about professional development resources, and more.
The Peer Services Community also hosts a Slack workspace for regional practitioners to discuss digital preservation topics, seek informal peer support, and exchange occasional #digipres memes. Please contact cdsn@coppul.ca to request an invite.
Planning Committee
The work of the Peer Services Community is facilitated by a small planning committee. Planning committee members coordinate professional development and networking events, curate and share best practice resources, and more. To express interest in joining the planning committee, or to propose a community event, please contact the co-chairs Andréa Tarnawsky and Kate Cawthorn or Y.G. Rancourt, CDSN Coordinator.
