At the American Institute of Architects,
the AIA Archives is building a digital repository for permanent
born-digital records that capture the intellectual capital of the AIA,
or have continuing value to the practice of architecture. In a story
that is probably familiar to many readers, the AIA has important digital
records that are not currently stored in a central repository, and that
are subject to accidental deletions or movement on the AIA’s shared
drive. The challenge for our team in the archives is to find and
identify these records and provide the AIA with a repository system that
will do all of the following: preserve the records, be flexible enough
to support the AIA’s changing information needs, and be simple for AIA
staff to use in order to deposit their own digital records into the
repository.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
