Volunteer, Kari James, at the National Archives Solomon Islands (NASI) has provided some interesting news that can greatly affect the accessibility and preservation of the archives’ records:
“In June we were cut-over to the new government computer network which is gradually being rolled out across whole of government. NASI is the first division in the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to join the network. This is a huge step forwards for NASI and presents us with a lot of opportunities for both improved digital records management and back capture digitisation of NASI collections. The network provides offsite data backup, antivirus protection and Helpdesk support, amongst other benefits which NASI has not previously had access to. Joining the network was one of the first major steps towards digitising NASI collections, for which NASI was awarded funding earlier this year.”
