Managing, accessing and preserving email archives
As organisations and institutions increasingly manage and process born-digital content, they are also increasingly working with large quantities of complex email messages and their attachments. However, workflows, toolsets and policies for managing, accessing and preserving email archives are emergent and changeable.

Discuss the challenges and solutions
In the face of these challenges, the Alexander Turnbull Library is hosting a symposium of practitioners and researchers on 30 Thursday and 31 January 2020, who are working with email archives. We are also pleased to be joined, thanks to the support of the Fulbright Specialist programme, by Peter Chan, a digital archivist from Stanford University Libraries and the project manager of the ePADD project.

This meeting will bring together representatives of various government departments, local councils, academic and research libraries, technologists, curators, archivists and records managers working on collecting and preserving email to discuss challenges and solutions.
