2014: A new attempt
• New Director (2009) • New hardware funding
– Installed August 2015
• Search for an Electronic Records Archivist
• June 2014 – New Electronic Records Archivist hired
• Process begins, 4 steps

More Research
• Articles • Format standards/
recommendations • Repository platform
options • NOT POWRR (why)
![Page 12: Selecting a Repository Platform · 10/19/2015 · •Testing Testing and evaluation . Final recommendation and acquisition . Research/literature review . OAIS Standards • CCSDS](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edbaa4ead6a402d6665ffcf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Policywriting
• Policy writing – Why policy writing
before testing? – TRAC criteria used
guidelines – Metadata requirements
drafted
![Page 13: Selecting a Repository Platform · 10/19/2015 · •Testing Testing and evaluation . Final recommendation and acquisition . Research/literature review . OAIS Standards • CCSDS](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edbaa4ead6a402d6665ffcf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Self-assessment
• Self-assessment – What are the current financial resources? – What are the future financial resources? – Technology resources? – What about staffing? – What about cost of maintenance?
