Connecting and Engaging with Our Friends and Colleagues
30 March 2020
You have seen a lot of messages from companies over the past few weeks (I know, it seems like years already) addressing how they are responding to the COVID-19 crisis. Yes, this is another one of those, but I want to speak about more than what we’re doing with our operations at AVP to keep our peeps mentally and physically healthy and make sure that we’re running at full capacity to serve you. I want to talk about things that we’re doing in support of you, others in the communities we serve, and beyond.
Launching the Take Flight Campaign

Filter, Focus, Forward: Tip #3 – Avoiding the Impulsive Glut
29 March 2020
Filter, Focus, Forward is a new AVP blog series about filtering out distraction and negativity, focusing on positivity and priorities, and continuing to move forward with progress and momentum while working as part of a distributed team.
Here’s the scenario:You walk from the kitchen with a cup of hot coffee, sitting down at your newly setup workspace. The lighting is good, the background is good for videoconferencing, you have your new headset, and while the desk is a little small it will work just fine. You breathe a sigh of relief, feeling like you’re getting into the groove of this whole working-from-home/distributed-team thing.

Filter, Focus, Forward is the 2020 mantra I created for myself back in the beginning of the year.

DOCUMENT THIS. And this. And this, too.
5 February 2020
As a consultant with AVP, I work with many different types of organizations to help them assess and optimize their digital preservation programs. I have the opportunity to really dig into the inner workings of these digital preservation environments. I’ve found that it is very common for institutions to have very little documentation relating to their digital preservation programs. Sure, you know what you’re doing, but there are so many other reasons to create documentation!
Digital Preservation Storage- The Basics
26 December 2019
When it comes to digital assets, digital preservation storage, and the various digital preservation actions that go along with it, are core to the implementation, development or enhancement to your digital preservation program.
In this series of three blog posts, my goal is to communicate the value and need of digital preservation storage, the requirements to adhere to best practices, and provide some information and links to organizations that create and administer digital preservation storage standards.
