This project is developing a centralized regional repository for state and local digital information. By implementing a cost-effective interstate technological archiving system, the project plans to demonstrate a scalable approach to preserving and making available at-risk digital government information. Content will include vital records, land ownership and use documentation, court records and Web-based state and local government reports.
Objectives:
- Identify varieties of digital records for preservation;
- Develop a broad-based workflow to transfer data to the archive;
- Establish access procedures, including searchable public Web sites;
- Publicize best practices and lessons learned.
