The National Digital Stewardship Alliance (NDSA) is an international membership organization dedicated to preserving digital heritage and maintaining access to digital information for present and future generations. Hosted by the National Information Standards Organization, the alliance brings together 278 partner organizations, including universities, professional associations, businesses, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations. Its members collaborate to strengthen the long-term preservation of the nation’s and the wider community’s digital resources.

NDSA offers a forum for advocacy, expertise, and practical support through its working groups and interest groups, which address areas such as content, infrastructure, standards, practices, climate, communications, and web archiving. The alliance also provides resources including its Levels of Preservation framework, publications, a blog, and guidance for members. Its activities include leadership initiatives, awards recognizing excellence in digital preservation, and events such as the DigiPres conference. Organizations can join the alliance and its groups, while individuals in the digital preservation community can sign up for its mailing list to share information and stay connected.
