PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RESOURCE IS INACTIVE AND NO LONGER BEING UPDATED.

The Center for Archival Resources On Legislatures (CAROL) is the final product of the Minnesota NDIIPP project related to the preservation of and access to digital legislative content.  CAROL pulls together research information and other resources on pertinent topics, while the Final Report summaries project activities.

The resource center is divided into four main categories: Foundations, Access, Preservation, and Authentication. These topics elaborate on responsibilities around recordkeeping, options for providing access, methods and tools for preservation, and issues surrounding authentication of legislative and legal materials.
