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
