Subject: [rmaa_list] Places still available for 10 November seminar: If
Charles Darwin had blogged 'On the Origin of Species' would we still be
talking about it? - Geoffrey Bolton Lecture 2009

Posted on behalf of State Records Western Australia


Dear Colleagues,

The State Records Office of Western Australia invites all Archivists,
Records Managers, Information Managers and Recordkeeping Professionals
to the 2009 Geoffrey Bolton Lecture, to be held at the Government House
Ballroom, St George's Terrace Perth, at 6pm on Tuesday 10 November 2009

The speaker at this year's Lecture will be Professor Lyn Beazley AO, the
Chief Scientist of Western Australia. 

The topic for this year's Lecture is "The Evolution of Scientific
Records and the Challenges in the Digital Universe".  Posing the
question, 'If Charles Darwin had blogged On the Origin of Species would
we still be talking about it?' the lecture will consider the issues
surrounding the challenges of capturing digital information for long
term use. There are serious implications for government, science,
business and the community if the challenges in identifying, collecting
and preserving electronic records, the records bridging the past,
present and future, are not adequately met.

The Lecture and formal proceedings are expected to conclude at 7pm and
will be followed by refreshments. 

If you wish to attend this free public event you must RSVP by 3 November
2009 to events at sro.wa.gov.au.

With kind regards,

Gerard Foley
Senior Archivist
State Records Office of Western Australia
