Description:
I have found a lot of old CDs in my office. It seems that Margaret was keeping them as 'School Archives'. The issue is that they aren't indexed, so it is difficult to figure out:
* if they still work (one CD I loaded up seemed to be corrupted)
* what they contain (the notes are perfunctory at best)
* if they should be kept (because we should only be keeping things of
Would you please be able to go through them (gradually and eventually) to see if they should be kept in a more appropriate format or destroyed? Maybe we could get a NAS box to keep the records in a much more sensible format, organised by dates. For instance, there seems to be generally 3 types of CD:
* 'KEEP' - there are fashion shows CDs from 2006 and 2008, International Fair/Festival CDs from 2009 and 2014... Things like this would be good to transfer to a digital archive
* NOT SURE - some CDs can likely just be disposed off ('Hampstead School website. Old site as of 31.08.10') but might contain things of interest like photos/videos etc. that would be good to have in a digital archive
* DESTROY - some CDs can definitely be destroyed: 'ASCL Annual Conference 2011'
We don't have an official list of what we would want to keep, but the general guide on archives is:
• student handbooks
• student newspapers
• yearbooks
• photographs
• school lunch menus
• course catalogs
• student term papers about the school or community
• newspaper articles from the local newspaper
• special awards received by the school
• records of special school programs
• audiotaped or videotaped oral histories
• scrapbooks
• videotapes of school performances and athletic events
If you need further guidance on borderline CDs then I can decide on a case-by-case basis...
Regards,
Michael
