Beyond the Checklist: Building Community and Confidence in the POWRR Peer Assessment Program : Short Paper - iPRES 2025 - Wellington, New Zealand / Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa
Abstract
Digital preservation assessment is often seen as a solitary or institutional task - conducted behind closed doors, with limited support or shared reflection. The POWRR Peer Assessment Program offered a different model: one rooted in community, trust, and collaborative learning. Through a year-long process combining structured curriculum, self-assessment, peer mentorship, and cohort discussion, participants engaged deeply with core digital stewardship frameworks while building confidence and connection. This paper explores how the program created a supportive environment for interdisciplinary reflection and action, offering a replicable model for community-centered capacity-building in digital preservation.Details
