Video: Presentations From LC/NARA Symposium on Archiving Email Made Available Online

February 2, 2016 by Gary Price

Videos of six presentations/panels from the June 2015 “Archiving Email Symposium” held at the Library of Congress are now available online and embedded below.
From the Event’s Web Page/Agenda:

As memory institutions increasingly process born-digital collections, one thing is clear: processing digital collections increasingly involves working with large quantities of complex email messages and their attachments. Workflows, toolsets and policies for accessing and preserving email archives are emergent and changeable.
In the face of these challenges, the Library and NARA are convening a symposium of practitioners on Tuesday, June 2, who are directly working with email archives.  This day-long meeting will bring together representatives of various federal agencies, academic and research libraries, technologists, curators, archivists and records managers working on collecting and preserving email to discuss challenges and solutions on four topic tracks: technical challenges, archival processing, records management and policy/guidelines development.
