Managing, accessing and preserving email archives
As organisations and institutions increasingly manage and process born-digital content, they are also increasingly working with large quantities of complex email messages and their attachments.

We are also pleased to be joined, thanks to the support of the Fulbright Specialist programme, by Peter Chan, a digital archivist from Stanford University Libraries and the project manager of the ePADD project.

This meeting will bring together representatives of various government departments, local councils, academic and research libraries, technologists, curators, archivists and records managers working on collecting and preserving email to discuss challenges and solutions.

Draft Agenda
We've started working on the agenda. Have a look at what we expect to cover and discuss.
Thursday, 30 January

•Email archives and social memory: Collecting and managing individual and personal email
•Email archives and processes for digital preservation
•Email archives and organisational records: Case studies

Friday, 31 January
