Archive Task Team

The Archive Task Team (ATT) is organized under the Technology & Service Sub Group of The Working Group on Information Systems and Services (WGISS).

The ATT is responsible for promoting, encouraging exchange and communication of Archive and records management best practices between the members of WGISS. Appropriate guidelines and recommendations for long-term archive data management, preservation and exchange among Agencies will be developed and distributed.

• Digital Data Preservation or Recovery.

Future topics may include:

• Agency Presentations on Data Migrations
