Electronic records created and stored in relational databases, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and proprietary and homegrown systems present many unique challenges to ensuring long-term access.

The panelists discuss these unique challenges, what tools and techniques are available to address them, and what tools the archival community needs to create.
