Abstract

Encouraged by the speed of transmission and ease of use, many organizations are relying heavily on electronic mail for internal and external communications. What are the implications of electronic mail for the archivist? An experiment was undertaken by the Navy Laboratories History Program to examine use of electronic mail within the Navy Laboratory community and attempt to preserve and archivally manage this evanescent form of communication.
