It’s taken some time, but we’ve published a new set of data curation primers! Many of these were created by participants from our third IMLS funded Specialized Data Curation Workshop which occurred at Washington University in St. Louis on November 5-6, 2019. Many thanks to IMLS for funding this series of workshops through IMLS LB21 #RE85-18-004018. Other primers were developed independently as an approved working group within the network. We also have additional approved independent working groups actively engaged in primer creation, so more primers will be on the way!

This pandemic is challenging for everyone and early on the education team decided to be very flexible with deadlines for resource creation. We want to thank our colleagues who participated as authors and mentors for their patience and determination to bring their creativity and expertise to this project through the hardest of times. Additionally, thanks to everyone who had generously given their time and expertise for peer review of these resources and thanks to our hardworking education team.

Without further ado, here are the new primers!
