February 26, 2009 -- The four projects of the Preserving State Government Information initiative are making it easier to get information about their activities.
Each consortium of state partners has prepared a brochure for broad distribution, including to government officials and to professional communities.
The partner initiatives are focused on capturing, preserving, and providing access to a rich variety of state and local government digital information. The four lead projects work with 23 states to collect and preserve publications, geospatial data, legislative records, executive agency documents, and other information of long-term value. Each project works to develop and share tools, services and practices to help all states make progress in managing their digital heritage.
The brochures describe the importance of the materials being preserved, the challenges facing each project, and the project objectives.
