Presentation:
Addressing the Messiness of Electronic Records Acquisition: Discussion of
Methods and Proposed Professional Directions
Archivists are often responsible for
acquiring or helping others access materials that reside on removable storage
media, e.g. receiving disks as part of a collection. This information is often
not packaged nor described as one would hope; the information professional must
extract whatever useful information resides on the medium, while avoiding the
accidental alteration of data or metadata. The field of digital forensics offers
many methods for data recovery and documentation. This talk with explore
potential applications of such methods. Cal will also solicit ideas and feedback on
the formation of a Personal Digital Archives Working Group (PDAWG) to advance
the agenda of addressing records that are not otherwise addressed by
institutional recordkeeping regimes.
Speaker:
Christopher (Cal) Lee is Assistant Professor at the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North
Carolina, Chapel Hill. He teaches archival administration, records
management, digital curation, resource selection and evaluation, understanding
information technology for managing digital collections, and the construction of
policies and rules for digital repository.
His primary area of research is the
long-term curation of digital collections. He is particularly interested in the professionalization of this work and
the diffusion of existing tools and methods (e.g. digital forensics, web
archiving, automated implementation of policies) into professional
practice. Cal is editing and
providing several chapters to a forthcoming book entitled, I, Digital: Personal
Collections in the Digital Era.
Cal has an MSI (with a concentration
in Archives and Records Management) and PhD from the University of Michigan
School of Information
