Course Meeting Times
Wednesdays 9.00 a.m - 12.00 Noon, SZB 546
Course Description
The course will focus upon what happens to electronic records from all sources,
including preservation reformatting, once they have crossed the "'archival threshold"
for permanent retention. The course will cover media refreshment, conversion
to neutral formats vs. emulation to retain original format, migration, and electronic
records repository construction and administration. Projects addressing these
issues in various contexts will be undertaken by students as case studies. Students will
also be introduced to existing practices in the information technology field and their
appropriateness to archival requirements: code vaulting and escrow; data warehousing;
knowledge management. The course will include a consideration of the issues of
authenticity and reauthentication in the long-term preservation of electronic
records. Issues of access including privacy and open records in the context of
World Wide Web standards and digital library initiatives will also be addressed.
