Symposium 2003 - Preservation of Electronic Records: New Knowledge and
Decision-making
September 15-18, 2003
Library and Archives of Canada, 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa, Ontario,
CANADA

Hosted by the Canadian Conservation Institute, the Library and Archives of
Canada, and the Canadian Heritage Information Network, this symposium is
intended to increase awareness of the issues surrounding electronic records
by bringing expert and leading-edge opinions to a large audience including
small and medium-sized archives, libraries, and museums. The program will
be based on the chronological decisions that need to be made as electronic
records come into heritage institutions. The focus will be on making
decisions and finding practical solutions that can be implemented
immediately. In addition to formal papers there will be a poster session
and trade show. Tours, receptions, and a banquet are also planned. The
symposium will appeal to anyone interested in the preservation of
electronic records.

In conjunction with Symposium 2003, the organizers are planning a special
event for the general public. Preservation Quest: How to preserve your home
movies, CDs, videos, and more will take place Sunday, September 14, 2003
from 1 to 5 p.m. Designed to raise public awareness about the conservation
issues surrounding their own personal electronic records, this fun,
interactive, and informative afternoon will include short information
sessions, tours of a state-of-the-art music studio, films, and booths were
the public can talk to the experts.
