CoSA Reports & Surveys

By the end of 2015, the SERI project had largely completed the second phase of its agenda, which included developing online resources for CoSA and others interested in electronic records preservation; creating and providing educational opportunities and training for state archives staff on electronic records management and digital preservation; increasing awareness of the requirements of preserving electronic records across the nation; and identifying potential partners, collaborators, and allies to aid with the long-term efforts of preserving and making accessible electronic records. This work was undertaken in Phase II of SERI, starting in 2012, thanks to the efforts of volunteers from State Archives participating in the SERI Steering Committee and its subcommittees. During this phase, the four original subcommittees were consolidated into three subcommittees:

• Education & Programming Subcommittee
• Tools & Resources Subcommittee
• Advocacy & Communication Subcommittee
