Episode #9 of "More Podcast, Less Process", the archives podcast
co-produced by METRO and AVPreserve, is now available for streaming and
download via http://keepingcollections.org/more-podcast-less-process/ This
week's episode is "All Archives Are Local: Talking with the National
Archives & Records Administration" with guests Bonnie Marie Sauer
(Archivist, National Archives at New York City) and Kevin DeVorsey
(Supervisory Electronic Records Format Specialist, National Archives and
Records Administration) discussing the work that NARA does to manage
billions of records, develop collecting policies for an ever changing set
of formats, and provide access and research assistance to the public. The
scope and scale of what NARA is responsible for is not widely understood,
and it was a fascinating, revealing conversation even though Josh and
Jefferson just seemed to scrape the surface of this organization that is a
critical to our understanding of local and national history, as well as
being one of the main conduits for how we the people can interact with our
government.
