    Basics of Email Preservation Workshop

    Thursday November 19 at 2:00 - 3:30 EST

    Instructor: Jonathan Ennis

    This workshop offers an overview of the fundamentals of email preservation, exploring why preserving email is both essential and complex. Participants will be introduced to common email preservation formats, methods for downloading email from several major providers, approaches to processing and providing access using ePADD, and best practices for determining which emails should be preserved.

    The session builds on a presentation originally delivered for the Society of American Archivists’ Archivists of Religious Collections Section and incorporates research developed in preparation for collecting and preserving email accounts from Moravian congregations and agencies. The updated workshop will include refreshed content reflecting recent developments in the field, as well as practical insights drawn from this evolving case study.
