Electronic records and digital preservation catch your fancy? If you're an archivist or historian or just plain anyone worried about the digital future, The Ten Thousand Year Blog is for you. The title is inspired by physicist and speculative fiction author Gregory Benford's Deep Time: How Humanity Communicates Across Millennia (01999). My review of this book appears in the Association of Canadian Archivists' journal Archivaria no. 52 (Fall 02001). David Mattison. If you wonder about the "0" in front of the years, see my post for 02002 11 11 about the Long Now Foundation.

Public Record Office Victoria (PROV) is pleased to announce the release of a draft Tender Specification for the development of a Digital Archive. The draft Tender Specification is available on the VERS website at: http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/vers/projects/digarchive.htm PROV will publish a Request for Tender for the Digital Archive in June/July 2003.
The Digital Archive is an initiative of the Victorian Electronic Records Strategy (VERS) Centre of Excellence at PROV. The Digital Archive will manage and preserve digital records in a digital repository. These digital records will be permanent electronic records of the Victorian Government and digitised copies of paper records in the PROV collection. All digital records will be stored as VERS Encapsulated Ojects (VEOs). A web-enabled public interface will provide integrated access to all records in the PROV collection, both paper and digital. Access includes browsing and searching for records and metadata, ordering paper records and viewing VEOs.
The functional model for the PROV Digital Archive is based on the NASA Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS) and the VERS Final Report.
