Join us off Madison’s capital square as we learn about archiving Wisconsin’s history.  The presentation will provide a brief overview of the 3-year National Historical Publications & Records Commission (NHPRC) grant currently underway at the Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS). Over the course of the grant, WHS is actively working to implement best practices and processes for managing electronic records at the agency level, establish a sustainable electronic records transfer management system to WHS, and provide access to the electronic records we collect. The presentation will cover the grant progress to date, including WHS collaboration with partner agencies, efforts to acquire and implement a digital preservation system, and the guidance documentation produced to assist with digitization and electronic records transfer.
