Digital Preservation Pioneers: Margaret Hedstrom

This wonderful series continues with a bio of Margaret Hedstrom

Margaret Hedstrom has some concerns about how the current state of digital preservation might bias history in favor of certain cultures. The associate professor at the University of Michigan has decades of preservation expertise to back her up.

Margaret's digital preservation expertise spans decades. An associate professor at the University of Michigan's School of Information (UMSI), she was formerly chief of State Records Advisory Services and director of the Center for Electronic Records at the New York State Archives and Records Administration. Her writings – still timely and influential – include "Digital Preservation: A Time Bomb for Digital Libraries," )," "It's About Time" and "Invest to Save." Her current Library of Congress-National Science Foundation work is "Incentives for Data Producers to Create Archive-Ready Data Sets."
