Stacey Jones wins Best Paper Award at international digital preservation conference
Congratulations, Stacey!
In November 2025, Stacey Jones, Associate Librarian / Digital Preservation Unit Lead in our Collection Services department, attended the 21st International Conference on Digital Preservation in Wellington, New Zealand.
At the conference, Jones' paper, Confidence, Community and a Course of Action: Takeaways from Ten Years of Digital POWRR Training, received Best Paper Award. The award is based on a shortlist of papers that were either nominated by reviewers or received high overall scores during the pre-conference peer-review process because of their originality, relevance, clarity and organization of ideas.
"While in Wellington, I also worked with my POWRR colleagues after the conference to put on a two-day Digital POWRR Institute for cultural heritage workers in the region looking to learn more about digital preservation concepts," Jones said. This event was held at the National Library of New Zealand on Nov. 10 and 11, 2025, and was jointly sponsored by the iPRES Regional Impact Committee, PARBICA and Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa National Library of New Zealand.
