Summary
The Georgia Archives is working to develop a digital archives system to preserve the historical digital records of Georgia government. As outlined in the Vision Statement, this system will allow state agencies to transfer digital content so that it can be preserved, managed, and accessed by both the agency and the public. This proposed digital archives system will form the core of the Georgia Archives future operations.
Included in the digital archives system will be all eligible digital content created and maintained by state government. This content will be entered into the system and then authenticated and described according to Georgia Archives metadata and document creation standards. Content will be available for web searching and Internet viewing, downloading, and printing, or other dissemination methods. We are planning for system implementation December 2008.
