A monumental data transfer mission now faces The National Archives and Records Administration.
Coptering away from Washington, D.C. today, President Bush left behind 100 terabytes of electronic data in a variety of proprietary formats. To put that in perspective, all the books, manuscripts, publications and recordings of various kinds stored in the Library of Congress over the past 208 years adds up to 82.6 terabytes.
Clearly all the records management laws and practices will have to be revisited to acommodate online communications in all of its forms.
