Recording: Best Practices — Digital Preservation for Mod​ern​.Gov users

In an age where time and resources are precious commodities, the enduring importance of managing and preserving long-term and permanent government records remains a critical and important corporate objective for Local Authorities.

Watch this webinar where we discuss how to preserve your digital records and ensure you can provide evidence of council decision making in 20, 30, 50+ years time. Cassandra Pickavance, Digital Archivist at Dorset History Centre will share how she’s joined forces with the Council’s Democratic Services Manager, and found a way of moving critical Council records out of Modern.Gov and into the Archives Digital Preservation system.
