Computer World Australia Reports he National Archives of Australia (NAA) in Canberra is set to launch its digital archiving service on new infrastructure.
Lola McKinnon, acting director of the National Archives’ digital records projects and operations, said the rate of creation of digital information has spurred a set of “e-permanence” products and guidelines, which is the framework for developing the e-records management system and maintaining it.
“Digital records are subject to the same constraint as paper, which may be made available to the public,” McKinnon told Computerworld. “But most records are kept ‘private’ for 30 years, which makes managing the two types of information a challenge.”
