[Elise Dunham]

Hello everyone,
I am delighted to say that our group is now Recognised and Endorsed by the RDA Council – thanks so much to all of the group members who contributed to our case statement and the response to our initial review.
Our session for the Barcelona plenary in April has also been accepted and will take place on Day 2, April 6th, at 9.30 am. You can see the full programme for the plenary here: https://www.rd-alliance.org/plenaries/rda-ninth-plenary-meeting-barcelon…
The session overview for our group is here: https://www.rd-alliance.org/ig-archives-and-records-professionals-resear…
The session will focus on Digital Preservation, returning to the useful discussion we had at the Denver plenary and developing a structured plan on how to progress our work on this topic.
We have also set aside some time for RDA members to present their on-going work or projects for feedback from the group. Feedback could be requested around topics such as data preservation, appraisal, retention periods, workflow planning or other areas where records managers and archivists could provide guidance. Presenters would be allowed 5 minutes for presentation plus 5 for feedback, and we currently have two slots open. If there is something you would like to present, or if you know of colleagues who will be attending the plenary and may be interested then please pass on this information. Just email and let us know if you’d like to be added to the agenda.
Looking forward to seeing you in Barcelona,
Elise, on behalf of the RDA Archives and Records Professionals Interest Group co-chairs
