Archival Futures in Media

Discuss a proactive approach to safeguarding institutional archives in a digital age, including selection of metadata standards, long-term digital preservation strategies, access-control and privacy considerations, and governance models that balance openness with curation. Compare case studies of print-to-digital transitions and public-facing archives, and propose a plan for a national institution to maintain continuity of its historical records, while enabling researchers and the public to discover, interpret, and reuse preserved materials.
