SESSION 2: "How These Records Managers Mined their Past and are Engineering their Future – Three Records Management Program Successes from City, County, and State Governments"
OVERVIEW: While the role of a records manager and archivist can vary between city, county, and state government entities, we can agree that all of their roles can be summed up by the theme of this Online Forum: Mining our Past, Engineering our Future. Regardless of size, budget, or location, records managers and archivists must juggle both the past and the future: dealing with legacy technology, making sense of unorganized paper records, prioritizing history preservation - while simultaneously looking ahead and proactively implementing more connected processes and systems.
Presenting three unique perspectives, this session features a panel of three records managers and archives professionals who have all have embodied this Forum's theme—they have engineered changes and improvements to their records management programs, while successfully coordinating archival projects.
Representing city, county, and state governments, the panel discusses the challenges and successes of their records management program initiatives in an engaging, dynamic format.
With a moderator facilitating the discussion, the panel covers a wide range of relevant topics: from legacy technology upgrades and cloud migration to new records facilities, overhauling existing processes, and promoting organizational change. Those who watch this session will learn about the challenges and successes of the panelists and come away with techniques and action items they can apply in their own roles.
