Jessica Warner joined the Smithsonian’s Digitization Program Office (DPO) at its inception in 2009. Jessica works closely with Smithsonian staff to report annually on progress being made to digitize the Smithsonian's vast museum, archive and library holdings. Jessica manages the triennial report on unit digitization plans as well as unit data management plans to care for digital assets so they will be accessible well into the future. Jessica coordinates and oversees a variety of committee meetings and DPO-sponsored events, such as the Smithsonian Digitization Conference for a global audience and the Digital Foundations webinar series for SI staff. Jessica received her BA in Cultural Anthropology from Wellesley College, and earned a Masters in Library and Information Science from the Catholic University of America. Born and raised at the foothills of the Berkshire mountains in rural New England, Jessica is happiest in the woods or biking around DC before the city wakes up.
