“Here Today, Gone Tomorrow“

Government information ecosystems are complex and dynamic while recordkeeping obligations are long-standing and robust. Public sector institutions at all levels increasingly rely on electronically stored information created in dozens of applications and managed in hundreds of file formats to deliver services and provide access to government records. But digital information is more fragile than its analog counterparts and subject to ever changing technology environments. This reality can put the authenticity and usability of long-term (10+ year retention) and permanent electronic records at risk.

This presentation sponsored by the Ohio Electronic Records Committee will compare and contrast document management systems and digital preservation systems. The major workflows used to future-proof permanent and long-term electronic records and their essential metadata will be described. A Records and Archives Management case study from Greene County will be shared to bring to light essential differences between document management and preservation systems. We hope to see you join us!

Call for Volunteers

The Ohio Electronic Records Committee (OhioERC) is a committee of volunteers from Ohio public government entities working to develop guidelines/best practices for electronic records management in Ohio. Therefore, the committee wants to reach out to our subscribers to see if any of you are interested in joining our committee to help develop meaningful resources through our subcommittee work. You don’t have to be a records manager or archivist either; we would love members to be from management, IT, and legal areas as well.

The only requirement for membership is that you are a current employee with an Ohio public government agency/organization/institution. If you have any interest, please review our membership process here and fill out a membership application. Submit this application along with a brief letter of support from a supervisor within your agency/organization describing how the work products of the OhioERC are important to your agency/organization, how the agency could benefit from having a representative of the OhioERC, and how the Committee would benefit from your participation to [email protected].

We look forward to anyone willing to join our coalition of experts!
