Born-Digital Records in Museum Archives Symposium 2016

The Museum Archives Section’s Standards and Best Practices Working Group is holding a half-day symposium on born-digital records in a museum setting at this year’s Annual Meeting. We will discuss acquiring, preserving, and providing access to born-digital archival materials and consider strategies for successful collaborations with our colleagues in other departments. While focused on museums, this symposium will be valuable for any archivist dealing with born-digital records and communicating with those who create them.

Please join us! No registration separate from SAA conference registration is required.
