Thursday February 21, 2013

This seminar addresses:

· Common preservation formats of electronic records;

· Appraising, accessioning, and preserving electronic records;

· Working with records creators; and,

· Promoting and continuing your electronic records program.

All archives must address the management of electronic records to some degree, and you may not have the background in electronic records or the confidence to tackle this daunting task! This 90-minute web seminar provides you the basics you need to start solving your electronic records problems. This course is one of the Foundational Courses in the Digital Archives Specialist (DAS) Curriculum and Certificate Program, but is intended for any archivist looking to begin thinking about what to do with born-digital records.
