Guidance for nonprofit organizations
Anu Kasarabada
Dear Archivists –
Do any of you know of electronic archiving guidance
directed toward nonprofit organizations? I'm thinking of guidance for
potential donors, who don't expect to donate any time soon but want to
begin following best practices internally as best they can.
I'm thinking of something along the lines of this 2006 booklet
by Sandra Florand Young, Douglas Bicknese and Julia Hendry, but for
electronic records. If that's too ambitious, I'd be interested in any
simple workflows or basic steps recommended for nonprofits. For now, NDSA Levels 1-2 are about the only thing I've found.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Regards,
Anu Kasarabada

Hi, Anu.
While not focused solely on non-profits, per se, I think that the
2013 CLIR publication, Born Digital: Guidance for Donors,
Dealers, and Archival Repositories, might be a good place to
start -- it walks through the likely stages a donor and
organization will go through when the time comes, and without
getting so detailed as to scare them off before they start :-)

Hope it's helpful!
