Information Links
Following are links to AMS Newsletters and articles of interest.
AMS subscribes to the belief that whilst nothing digital is truly archival, it is easer to use and can be the best solution in many cases.
Our clients need to be aware that nothing digital survives by accident, therefore constant migration of the data to different applications and media is required to maintain a viable digital archive.
Some of these articles contain links to their authors, as these may have changed with time we have left them in for the sake of presenting the articles as provided.
