On behalf of the Records Management Society I would like to thank all the delegates, speakers and exhibitors attending the 2009 Records Management Society Conference which, down to the involvement of all concerned, was a huge success.
We are already making plans for next year and would like to hear your views on what will make Manchester 2010 the best conference yet!

The National Archives Digital Continuity Project
- Mark Merifield, The National Archives
In our digital world of rapid technological change and growth, we often take for granted our ability to access the information we create without fully understanding the many risks to that information, inherent in both its digital form and the ways in which we value and manage it. Digital Continuity is the idea of ensuring that our data assets can continue to be interpreted as information assets and therefore into knowledge until those information assets are no longer required.
