Born Digital Archival Materials at NYPL: An Interview with Donald Mennerich | The Signal: Digital Preservation Donald has been processing born digital materials in New York Public Library’s Manuscripts and Archives Division<http://www.nypl.org/locations/schwarzman/manuscripts-division>for a year now and I thought readers would find it interesting to learn a bit about the kinds of born digital archival work he has been up to. *Trevor:* Have you come across anything particularly exciting or surprising in processing born digital materials? *Donald:* Honestly it’s all pretty exciting to me. It’s exciting to see applications running again, documents readable again, games playable again. Digital collections can provide a challenge of working at a scale though that doesn’t really have an analog when compared to working with traditional paper-based archives. So we’re constantly re-thinking what the ‘processing’ strategies are to make things accessible as efficiently as possible. http://1.usa.gov/17eMrPK Source: http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2013/04/born-digital-archival-materials-at-nypl-an-interview-with-donald-mennerich/?utm_source=feedly See if people are clicking on this link: http://1.usa.gov/17eMrPK+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
