It Feels Like
“The natural condition is one of
insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.”
“So what do we do?”
“Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out
well.”
“How?”
“I don't know.
It's a mystery.”

• Collections (organized
groups of objects)
• Objects (digital materials)
• Metadata (information
about objects and
collections)
• Initiatives (programs or
projects to create and
manage collections)

Context
• Government records, like many archival materials,
must retain context to be both useful and retain
meaning
• Almost all digital objects = compound objects
