The final report of the Digital Archiving Task Force is now available at
<URL:http://www.rlg.org/ArchTF/>.  It was put up last week but announcements
don't appear to have gone out.  It is a very important report; following is
some text describing it:
 
"At the end of 1994 the Commission on Preservation and Access (CPA) and
RLG created a Task Force on Archiving of Digital Information charged with
investigating and recommending means to ensure "continued access
indefinitely into the future of records stored in digital electronic form."
The
21-member task force, co-chaired with distinction by Donald Waters, Associate
University Librarian, Yale University, and John Garrett, Chief Executive
Officer of CyberVillages Corporation, recently completed their final report.
RLG and CPA are making this widely available online and in print."
