Frequently Asked Questions - Electronic Records |
|
- I would like to preserve my department's website. What is the best way to do that?
- The Records Management Office is currently working on guidelines for preserving University websites. The simplest method is taking snapshots (periodically saving a complete set of the files on your site), but this is not always feasible. The RMO encourages offices to contact us for guidance. By helping you with your site, we hope to learn things that will prove useful in creating the guidelines.
- Is e-mail a record?
- Yes. E-mail is a form of correspondence or a means of transmitting information, and is specifically included in the definition of University record that appears in the Corporation vote of March 13, 1995, and must be managed as such. It is, however, individual e-mail items or messages that are records, not the system or an undifferentiated aggregation of e-mails. For further information on the management of e-mail and electronic records, consult the Electronic Desktop Management Guidelines, attend one of our workshops, or contact the Records Management Office.
- Have a question that's not here?
- Let us know at rmo@hulmail.harvard.edu. We're always looking for questions to add to the list.
