Presentation: Digital Preservation for the Nation: An Introduction to the Electronic Records Archives (ERA)

Rita Cacas, ERA Communications Officer at the National Archives and Records Administration, did a presentation on this at the Special Libraries Association Annual Conference in June. Her presentation is available online. In addition, her session was recorded and the audio is also available (1 hour, 27 min.).

So ensuring that the digital materials are preserved for the short and long-term is critically important.
