What FamilySearch Is Doing to Preserve Electronic Records: Did you know that CDs have an expiration date? So do external hard drives, flash disk storage, and many other technologies that hold electronic records. Saving these electronic records is an important work, which is why each year on October 10th, we celebrate Electronic Records Day, a day set aside remember the vital work of preserving electronic records and the difference that these records make in our world today.
FamilySearch’s Efforts[edit | edit source]
Record preservation is the sort of thing we get passionate about here at FamilySearch! One of our main goals is to help more records become available to more people. Last year, we created 32 million images of records in North America, many of which were probate and marriage records, along with naturalization, immigration, and military records.
Some of our most exciting collections that came from those images include records from the War of 1812, World War II, and Ellis Island.
“Preserving historic records is only one-half of the equation. Making them easily accessible to family historians and researchers worldwide when they need them is the other crucial component.” —Diane Loosle, director of FamilySearch Patron Services Division
