Making Digital Preservation Practical: A Personal Odyssey, Christopher J. Prom Jan 2011

Making Digital Preservation Practical: A Personal Odyssey, Christopher J. Prom

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Thank you for the kind introduction. And thank you all for having me here to speak with you and to learn from you. I am so pleased to be doing so, since the theme of your conference — real world solutions — is near and dear to me. As noted, the theme of my remarks is “Making Digital Preservation Practical.” I will highlight some ways that archives can begin a systematic program to acquire, preserve, and provide access to born-digital materials, by reflecting on my own experiences over the past few years.

Reappraising Leonard Rapport's "No Grandfather Clause" At Thirty, Ashby Crowder Jan 2011

Reappraising Leonard Rapport's "No Grandfather Clause" At Thirty, Ashby Crowder

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Identifying enduring value in records is elemental to the concept of archives. Consequently, the question of reevaluating past determinations of endurance goes to the core of archival theory. Despite the substantial professional literature on the appraisal of records, relatively few archival scholars or practitioners have analyzed how and whether archivists should revisit original appraisal decisions.1 Professional organizations are only beginning to deal with the issue formally. While archivists could benefit from more professional guidance in reappraisal, the small amount of literature that does exist suggests a consensus that reappraisal, when done properly, can be a component of sound collections management.

Preservation Of The Video Game, Allison M. Hudgins Jan 2011

Preservation Of The Video Game, Allison M. Hudgins

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Archivists have witnessed the preservation pitfalls of aging paper, videotape, and film and may wonder what the future holds for the video games of this era. Will children fifty years from now be able to play Super Mario World? More importantly, will historians lose objects that have made a significant cultural impact on the society of the late twentieth century and early twenty-first? If a variety of institutions do not take up significant preservation efforts then the games of today could slip away more quickly than one might think.
