BitCuratorEdu

The BitCuratorEdu project was an effort (2018-2022) funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to study and advance the adoption of digital forensics tools and methods in libraries and archives through professional education efforts. This project is a partnership between Educopia Institute and the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, along with the Council of State Archivists (CoSA) and several Masters-level programs in library and information science.

BitCuratorEdu Learning Objects

The project made available a series of learning objects to be used by education providers in providing hands-on digital forensics education. These resources are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License and are intentionally left with basic formatting and without project branding. The project encourages educators, practitioners, and students to adapt these materials as much as needed and share them widely.
