This brings up points of what I am researching:

– digital can be easily searched and delivered

– digital is vulnerable to new forms (tampering, storage failures)

– use digital differently from paper records

 

Technicalities:

45-1 46 45 44-1 44 43 42 41

 

This is really technically in depth; however, the on going debate is how a system is made so that its filing system isn’t corrupted or outdated and that its metadata will aid the update. This is indicative of the fact that archivists have to be extremely technical and up to date, and harder still, forward thinking… This is a lot to ask, when a physical archive will always remain in the same state, one which is maybe not as easily usable, but will remain constant…
