Standards & Best Practices

Electronic Records Preservation


Description
Preserving land records forever needs to be understood. The resources in this course address the past, the present and the future of permanent public records. Much of the material may present new ideas and information for recorders and is imperative to the functioning of the recorder’s office. It is not the responsibility of information technology to preserve public records forever but they do have a role to play in an increasingly electronic world.

This course helps you identify your preservation needs, explains what you need to know and why, how to create a partnership with your IT team, and how to include this information in your RFP.
