OVERVIEW: For hundreds of years, Parisians overfilled their cemeteries with bodies, until those cemeteries reached the bursting point (literally) in 1780. The French catacombs serve as a fascinating example of one city’s attempt to control the ever-increasing volume of human remains by creating a natural underground bone repository and employing methods of organization.
The shared network drives at the Utah State Archives were like the 1,000-year-old Parisian cemeteries of 1780: over-saturated. And staff just kept burying more and more bodies there. Records had piled up like bones and were cluttering their network drives to the point where they could not be identified, retrieved, or properly disposed of. Finding records bursting at the seams, Utah found themselves continually paying additional amounts of money to accommodate the ROT-ting corpses.
In April 2019, Kendra Yates was tasked with moving agency records off of the shared network drive and into a cloud solution. In this webinar presentation, sponsored by Backstage Library Works, attendees will hear the story of how the Utah State Archives accomplished the task: from managing the project, to creating a file plan (aka folder structure), to helping co-workers adapt to the change.
PRESENTERS: Kendra Yates, Utah Chief Records Officer, Utah Division of Archives and Records Service
