Electronic Archives--Government Documents "Washington Breaks Ground on Digital Archives Building"
Source: GovTech.Net
From the article, "The Secretary of State, Sam Reed, announced on Tuesday that the state is taking steps to create a Digital Archives building that will use storage area networks (SANs) to store electronic records from the various branches and levels of state government. "We've had a problem in the state, which I'm sure is generally found around the country, of actually losing some of our electronic records," Reed said. "We have e-mails from a previous governor's administration that have disappeared. We also have Wang disks from another governor's administration that we don't have the right equipment to read what is on those disks. We currently have a situation where there's a considerable amount of public policy discussion, and, frankly, development, going on via e-mail, and we need to have a set up to be able to capture that for history."
