Electronic Records Preservation

If you're concerned about electronic records preservation, a few resources might be of help. "It's 10 O'Clock: Do You Know Where Your Data Are?" is a useful paper, as is a film which appeared on PBS: "Into the Future: On the Preservation of Knowledge in the Electronic Age." InterPARES, an international collaborative research project, is a promising current initiative.
