Gillian, The PRO website has a fair amount of information on electronic records. They have written 2 reports, one dealing with principles, the other with procedures relating to electronic records. You can get them from their website: http://www.pro.gov.uk/recordsmanagement/eros/default.htm Other good sites are the national archives of Australia which includes web sites advice: http://www.naa.gov.au/recordkeeping/er/summary.html and Canada, which has written very good guidelines on email preservation: http://www.imforumgi.gc.ca/products_e.html#1 I hope this helps, Regards, Rachael Maguire > -----Original Message----- > From: Gillian Lonergan [SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Friday, August 04, 2000 09:47 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Modern Electronic Records > > Can anyone point me in the right direction for advice on what > modern electronic records (intranet, email etc) should be kept by > organisations for addition to their archives? > > An additional question is the method of retention.
