Planets Newsletter July 2009
News from the Swiss Federal Archives here:
we learn that approx. 13 Terabytes is the current archives volume with a yearly growth
of about 1 TB.
The Swiss Federal Archives (BAR) is legally responsible for
preserving documents – paper records, photos, audio and film
recordings – of the Swiss government, the parliament and the federal
administration. Its digital material amounts to roughly 13 terabytes,
increasing by an estimated 1 terabyte in 2010. From 2012 on, all
federal administrative institutions will be asked to deliver master
records to the archives in digital form only. Consequently, BAR
anticipates very large digital data deliveries, including databases,
in the next two decades.
