This project, which has included representatives from Manuscripts and Archives and Yale's Academic Media and Technology unit, was begun in 2002 with a broad mission to establish a repository for the long-term preservation of Yale University's electronic records. A permanent Electronic Records Archivist position was created and given responsibility to ensure effective acquisition, preservation, management, future migration, access to and security of electronic records acquired by Manuscripts and Archives. The group's activities have included assessing Yale's current electronic records landscape; investigating and evaluating existing digital preservation projects; developing an XML schema to document records migration events (DSMI-Data Systems Migration Information); beginning the implementation of an active records management application; and planning for a long-term preservation repository system. In addition to the permanent Electronic Records Archivist position, Yale has provided significant project funding to support the research and implementation of the program.
