Spring Workshop

Special Issues in Electronic Records

Presented by Jim Suderman, Electronic Records Co-ordinator 
at the Archives of Ontario

*       Date:   Friday April 11th, 2003 -- 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
*       Place:  Macdonald Block, 900 Bay Street, corner of Wellesley St. W.
*       Cost:   $65 for AAO members; $80 for non-members

The morning session will be introduced by Tom Belton, the AAO's Archives
Advisor, who will
 discuss the emerging world of electronic records that he has witnessed in
his travels about 
Ontario visiting archives large and small. Jim Suderman will address issues
relating to the 
arrangement of electronic records and the associated issues of providing
reference service 
to the e-records. The morning will conclude with a group exercise in which
we will explore the
 ways in which a web site may be taken into archival custody.

After lunch, the second half of the workshop will feature several speakers
who will address 
special topics. Michele Dale will lead off with a case study concerning the
appraisal and 
acquisition of the Walkerton Inquiry database and web site. Next Bob
Macaulay will discuss 
issues relating to the preservation function for electronic records. And,
last but not least, 
Marie-Josée Lévesque will lead the group through the intricacies of the
revised RAD Chapter 
Nine -- Records in Electronic Form. (This new chapter and all the other RAD
rules are 
downloadable from: http://www.cdncouncilarchives.ca/archdesrules.html).
