The National Archives has finished its Seamless Flow Programme to automate the preservation of electronic government records

The programme has developed tools and processes aiming to create a seamless process, so information created by government can be gathered by the Archives, stored and – when allowed – released online.

David Thomas, chief information officer, said: “The challenges we face with digital records – cataloguing, preserving, accessibility – are similar to those of paper records, but they clearly can’t be addressed in the same way. This new system, the first of its kind, means that we now have the tools to ensure that modern records survive the test of time.
