Re: Electronic Archive



Re Jim Beaven's excellent electronic archive hypothetical: sounds like
an exam question for my Preservation of Digital Objects course. These
are precisely the questions that have been solved by the researchers at
Georgia Tech for decanting the multitude of hard disks that came to the
Bush Presidential Library. See:
perpos.gtri.gatech.edu/perpos/Final_Report.pdf
There's also a wonderful article by Lucie Paquet in Archives and
Manuscripts (November 2000, 71-91) that suggests how to do a little
preplanning to avoid just such a scenario for private papers.
