Programs

The DAC program builds partnerships between OpenArchive and organizations creating and managing mobile media archives. Through these collaborations, we gain valuable insights on our partners' needs. This research allows us to adapt and update the Save app as well as customize workshops, trainings, and guides to the partners. We share our research findings with the wider community.

Most importantly, the communities we work with are able to grow or strengthen their archiving and documentation processes. Through the DAC program, partners will benefit from:

• Archiving workflow support and guidance;
• Mobile media archiving workshops;
• Needs assessments;
• Amplification of their work.

The program framework is customized to match DAC partners' most pressing needs and meet communities where they are.
