This week I'm at the ACA@UBC seminar and symposium in Vancouver where the focus is on the digital shoebox, personal digital archives, and archival education. Today I'll be speaking on the topic of Virtual Time Capsules and sharing some of the time capsules planned by SLIS students for their LIBR 284 Archivist: Meet Web 2.0 course. If you're planning your own personal digital archive or virtual time capsule, resources are available from the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program at http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/personalarchiving/
A recent resource available from the site is the Personal Digital Archiving Day Kit that provides guidance and resources for information professionals on how to organize and host a Personal Digital Archiving Day to share knowledge about caring for personal digital assets with your community. The Kit can be downloaded from http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/personalarchiving/documents/PADKit_v1.pdf
