It Always Hurts the First Time: Experiences with Transferred Electronic Records

It Always Hurts the First Time: Experiences with Transferred Electronic Records, Marcel van Dijk, Cultivate Interactive, issue 9, February 2003, http://www.cultivate-int.org/issue9/amsterdammro/

Abstract: "In 2001, for the first time in its history, the Amsterdam Municipal Records Office received and processed records that had been electronically created by a government authority. In the course of the project a great many obstacles were faced and ultimately resolved. In his article on the ups and downs of this difficult process, Marcel van Dijk gives us a flavour of the challenges encountered and the hard lessons learnt."
