Wednesday, 10/10, is Electronic Records Day!

This is an annual event which focuses on the critical role electronic records play in our lives, and brings attention to challenges surrounding management, access and preservation of these crucial resources. Archivists and Records Managers throughout the country will be doing educational programs and sharing information via social media for the day. 

This year ORMS Administrator Kris Stenson of the Oregon State Archives will be hosting a live stream on Facebook at 2:00 pm to give tips and answer questions from the public. He invites you all to join him for the conversation and to bring your questions on anything from how you manage records in a database to whether you should digitize your old family photos.
