archive services | 11-1-2018 1 Products and Services Catalogue 1.1 Purpose The Dutch government is increasingly working digitally and providing its services digitally. Digital information is more diverse than information on paper and has many forms, from digital documents to e-mail, twitter messages, blogs and websites. The boundaries between use and archiving also disappear with digital information objects. The government must, however, permanently preserve the information objects and keep them accessible. This is to support their own operations, for accountability purposes and also within the framework of cultural heritage. The National Archives supports the digital preservation and accessibility of digital information objects. The National Archives and the Regional Historical Centers (RHCs) use a national infrastructure to receive, manage and make available digital information objects. The purpose of this national infrastructure is: 1. ensure the sustainable accessibility of digital information objects; 2. effectively make digital information objects accessible to a wide audience via the internet; 3. to allow the transfer of digital information objects from archive creators to a depot to take place efficiently. Part of this national infrastructure is the e-Depot of the National Archives. The National Archives manages the digital information objects of ministries and other central government organizations. The National Archives also makes this e-Depot available to the Regional Historical Centers, so that they can manage information objects themselves. In its role as knowledge centre for information management and digital archiving, the National Archives also makes its knowledge available to other government organizations and archival institutions. It want to promote sustainable access to government information. The Service Organisation of the National Archives provides

  • 'The Registered Papers of the Chief Secretary's Office'
    ‘The Registered Papers of the Chief Secretary’s Office’ Tom Quinlan, Archivist, National Archives Journal of the Irish Society for Archives, Autumn 1994 The Registered Papers of the Chief Secretary’s Office consist of two main archival series covering the years 1818 to 1924, together with a number of sub-series of shorter date span within this period: They provide the researcher with valuable primary source material for research into Irish history during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The collection, which forms part of the Irish state papers, is now in the custody of the National Archives and is stored on site at its premises on Bishop Street in Dublin. There is a distinction between archives we describe as state papers and those we call public records which is not always articulated and hence tends to remain vaguely understood, The distinction has its basis in developments in England where the records created by the courts, by commissions of enquiry, and by public offices and boards were regarded as being of a public nature, whereas the records of secretaries of state were viewed as the semi-private papers of a government minister and, as such, were not deemed to be in the public domain. This distinction was given legislative expression in both Ireland and Britain by their respective nineteenth century public records Acts, which preserved and rendered available to the public legal and court records, but which did not extend to the records of secretaries of state or government ministers. (1) Irish state papers are the accumulated documents received or created by the offices of state which, until the termination of direct rule of Ireland by England in 1922, composed the Irish executive, headed by the chief governor of Ireland, and included the Privy Seal Office, the Privy Council Office and the Chief Secretary's Office.

But in light of digital sustainability, the National Archives has a number of preferred formats for the information supplied by the legal caretakers. This document describes those preferred formats and provides a substantiation for their use. This allows custodians to take sustainable accessibility into account from the inception of their information. Context and cause The document Preferred formats of the National Archives is an elaboration of its Preservation Policy. The Preservation Policy describes the overall policy for preservation, i.e. the way in which the National Archives keeps the digital information it manages authentic and useable.

  • Planets Case Study Netherlandsv4:Layout 1
    The Nationaal Archief of the Netherlands and the Use of Emulation A Study of the Use of Planets in Preserving the Digital Collection of the Nationaal Archief of the Netherlands Executive Summary As the largest public archive in the Netherlands, the 200 year old Nationaal Archief plays an important role in safeguarding the Dutch memory. Its collections document the activities of central government and record the evolution of the Dutch state. Archives transferred by the government to the Nationaal Archief increasingly comprise digital material. Fast technological developments, causing hardware and software to become obsolete within just a few years, present a challenge in keeping these records authentic and accessible through time. The Nationaal Archief is building a Digital Depot to cater for digital records and plans to share its acquired knowledge and facilities with other government institutions and other Dutch archives. It will thus provide a “smart hard disk” for storing and accessing Dutch history. In the Digital Depot, which combines an automated system and skilled staff, the focus has been on the ingest functions and safe storage. Preservation functions such as keeping an authentic version of the ingested material accessible are not yet in place. The Nationaal Archief aims to use solutions developed in Planets to provide this preservation component. This case study focuses on the way the Nationaal Archief envisages implementing two emulation approaches to address these challenges: emulation for rendering and emulation as an intermediate step in migration. Though much work remains to be done, for the Nationaal Archief, Planets has meant a big step forward. Authors Petra Helwig, The Nationaal Archief of the Netherlands Bill Roberts, The Nationaal Archief of the Netherlands Emily Nimmo, The Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute This case study is part of a series of case studies on the application of Planets in major European libraries and archives.
