>DCC Workshop
>Email curation: practical approaches for long-term preservation and access
>April 24th-25th, 2006
>Grey Street Hotel, Newcastle
>http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/ec-2006/
>
>The Digital Curation Centre is pleased to announce that it will be
>delivering a two-day workshop on the long-term curation of emails. This
>event will be held in Newcastle on April 24th and 25th, 2006.
>
>The increasing use of email has drastically changed the way that many
>organisations work. To provide evidential value and to ensure legal
>compliance, it is essential that traditional record-keeping practices are
>applied to the management and preservation of emails. This often requires a
>cultural change in organisational practices, which can be exceedingly
>difficult to implement. In addition, there are a range of technical issues
>that can impact the long-term viability and re-usability of emails. This
>workshop will investigate some of the organisational, cultural, and
>technical issues that must be addressed to provide accountability in the
>short term and to ensure that emails can be located, retrieved, accessed,
>and re-used over time.
>
>Benefits of Attendance:
>The workshop will be of benefit to individuals and institutions that are
>interested in applying a records management approach to the long-term
>management of their emails. The workshop will also help to illustrate the
>potential legal benefits associated with the long-term management and re-use
>of emails.
>
>Dates:
>This workshop will begin at 13:00 on Monday, April 24th and conclude at
>17:00 on Tuesday April 25th, 2006.
>
>Format
>The workshop will be delivered over three sessions. The first will examine
>the concept of emails as records focusing on cultural and organizational
