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.

With the growing use of the World Wide Web has come a popular demand to make historical and other important records available on-line. How can librarians, archivists, universities, and government officials respond to this demand in an era of limited financial resources and bewildering technological change? What are standards for digitising, maintaining, and serving these records over the Internet? What are the costs? How do you identify vendors who can do the work? How do you ensure quality and maintain the integrity and security of the original documents?
In this executive education workshop, experts from The Centre for Data Digitisation and Analysis (Queen’s University), the Arts and Humanities Data Service, and the Polis Center (USA) will address the following topics and more:
- Assessing the need and audiences for a digital archive
- Developing a strategy for creating a digital archive
- Preserving and maintaining digital materials
- Serving digital information over the Web
- Selecting a vendor
- Determining costs
- Assuring quality
This three-hour workshop will be held at Queen’s University in Belfast on July 31 from until 12.30 pm.
