CurateGear: Enabling the Curation of Digital Collections

What is it about?

CurateGear: Enabling the Curation of Digital Collections took place on January 6, 2012, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It was a highly interactive, day-long event focusing on digital curation tools and methods, involving presentations and demonstrations by a variety of experts. It will be followed by a second interactive day-long public symposium, "CurateGear 2013", continuing the same themes, to be held on January 9, 2013 at the William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The event had the support of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. CurateGear 2013 will not only inform participants, but also provide numerous opportunities to encounter and discuss the latest world-wide developments in, and applications of, digital curation in diverse professional contexts. It is hoped that this summary of the highlights of CurateGear 2012, and introduction to CurateGear 2013, will spark further interest in attending this event.
