With ever-changing technology and the short life expectancy of the media on which they are stored, electronic records pose a special challenge to governments’ preservation efforts. Governments’ electronic records are found, not only on computer media, but also on audio tapes and videotapes.

This webinar will:
- Describe the different types of electronic media
- Provide practical guidelines about various preservation techniques
