Best Practices for Long-Term File Preservation

Time:
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CDT
Event Description:
Work environments create electronic records in a variety of file formats. Over time, these formats may become obsolete or unusable, rendering these electronic records inaccessible. Monitoring and regulating the usage of file formats can help minimize the risk of records loss. Furthermore, standardizing formats reduces costs and provides a platform to better manage records over time. This work is also essential in forming a digital preservation strategy which can help ensure your records are accessible, accurate, authentic, reliable, legible, and readable throughout the record life cycle.
Join Krista Sorenson, the Electronic Records and Digital Preservation Archivist for the Wisconsin Historical Society, as she provides challenges and best practices for preserving digital files for the records life cycle.
