GWU- Center for Professional Development, Records and Information Management
Program Announces the following classes for April and May 2002
CWRM 405 Digital Preservation: The Long-Term Retention of Electronic Records
Today, nearly every organization faces a significant new challenge in its
recordkeeping practices -- how to provide for the permanent or long-term
preservation of its digital records. This new challenge results from the
fact that, during the past five to ten years, virtually all the
recordkeeping systems of high strategic importance to the enterprise have
been converted from visible to digital media, and many of these have
long-term retention requirements. And yet most Information Technology
departments have little if any experience with digital preservation
methodologies. Digital preservation is equally new to most archivists and
records managers, as these professional disciplines have been traditionally
concerned with the preservation of physical records. This seminar addresses
this new records preservation paradigm. The seminar is designed to provide
practical methodologies for how records managers and archivists can work
with information systems specialists to meet the digital preservation
requirements of the present and future.
