The Library of Michigan is promoting participation in this project to develop a cohort of representatives from cultural heritage organizations across Michigan. This cohort will complete a training and professional development program focused on preserving and
providing access to local history through <b>web archiving, digital preservation, and community archiving</b>. The program will include asynchronous training and virtual cohort meetings. At the end of the training, participants will begin a web archiving,
digital preservation, and/or community archiving project that they intend to work on for the remainder of the program. They will receive
<b>free</b> access to tools (including the Archive-It web archiving service and Vault digital preservation service), technical support, and mentorship over the course of the project period. The program will culminate in a presentation of the projects in October
2025. Click the following link to <a href="https://form.jotform.com/243255441503146" id="OWA893bd931-7ec6-7b50-b83f-89f380440fbd" class="OWAAutoLink" title="https://form.jotform.com/243255441503146">
