Society of American Archivists Technology Best Practices Task Force

Managing Electronic Records and Assets: A Working Bibliography

 

As a result of the Society of American Archivists Council’s strategic planning efforts in technology, a Technology Best Practices Taskforce was formed in September 2006 to work with appropriate groups in SAA and ARMA to identify competences and standards and to collect, review and clarify best practices relating to all areas of archival practice that are affected by electronic records and digital asset issues. Through surveys of appropriate sources, the Task Force has produced this preliminary list of resources. Please send feedback, suggestions, and additions to task force at techbp-tf [at] forums [dot] archivists [dot] org.

Archivists surveying current best practices on this and other topics might want to begin by consulting Conducting Best and Current Practices Research: A Starter Kit, written by Ophelia Green for the Center for Technology in Government (University at Albany, SUNY, 2000). http://www.ctg.albany.edu/publications/guides/conducting_best/conducting_best.pdf
