Nathan Tallman joined APTrust as Executive Director in 2024 after nearly 10 years of involvement as a member through the University of Cincinnati and Penn State University. His digital preservation philosophy is two-part. First, good stewardship is fiducially responsible, regardless of an organization’s resources. Without sustainable strategies, resources required for digital preservation can easily escalate and eventually put the organization’s mission at risk. Second, a successful digital preservation program is an embedded culture. Digital preservation requires all stakeholders to have the shared understanding that nearly every aspect of the creation and management of digital content has preservation implications.
