Protecting Legislative Digital Records
Ernest N. Morial Convention Center

Legislatures around the nation are creating digital-only records as the
transition from paper to digital records continues, but are the right records
being preserved?  Can you access those records in five or ten years? Explore
how to manage and minimize risks relating to electronic records and ensure
that electronic records are accessible for legal discovery, business continuity,
and disaster recovery purposes.  Learn the importance of using data transfer
and archiving methods that are dependable, verifiable, and enduring. 
Become acquainted with a Library of Congress grant to develop a model
architecture that helps you preserve electronic data and digital records.
