With Elizabeth England (MLIS '16), Digital Preservation Specialist at the National Archives and Records Administration

Hosted by the Bernadette Callery Archives Lecture Series at the School of Computing and Information and the Year of Data and Society

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) currently holds more than 2 billion electronic records, with ever-increasingly rapid growth as the U.S. Government transitions to all-electronic recordkeeping. With a commitment to preserving and maintaining access to the content of these records in perpetuity, NARA's approach to digital preservation must be holistic and scalable. In this talk, Elizabeth England (MLIS ’16), Digital Preservation Specialist at NARA, will discuss how NARA's digital preservation program is structured and current digital preservation activities for preservation planning and risk mitigation at a large-scale.
