12:06Tech Tuesday - Electronic Records Archives

Technological progress often goes hand-in-hand with technological obsolescence. So what happens when today's software and hardware becomes the equivalent of the wax cylinder or the 8 track tape?

Kenneth Thibodeau, Director of the Office of Program Management, the Electronic Records Archives, US National Archives and Records Administration
