The Digital Preservation Services User Group has prioritized sharing their local workflows and documentation with each other in order to better align their work in ways that will allow them to work together easier and to interact more smoothly with the systems they use locally and via TDL services. 


Currently, the group is working in a restricted space until they are ready to share more broadly with the larger TDL and national digital preservation communities. Google folder for the work is here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NIk7UkItY6ZdVu9v05P3GT8UeqDK7gZh?usp=sharing
