Time: 9:00 a.m. -- 5:00 p.m.
Place: Portland, Maine (NEA Spring 2016 Meeting)

Arrangement and Description of Electronic Records, Part I (DAS)

This one–day course introduces you to processing strategies that are applicable to born-digital records, with an emphasis on basic concepts that archivists use to establish descriptive control over digital content. You’ll learn about standards and tools that can be used to implement an integrated processing strategy. You’ll also participate in a set of instructor–led exercises that arrange and describe some electronic records in ways that maintain the integrity and authenticity of the digital records.
