that follow. At this juncture, we are challenged by the demands of a hybrid world: paper and digital. Our history serves us well in the management of the former; however the management of the latter requires a different set of skills. Or does it?</span></p>

and solutions for, achieving dominion over the digital, from an individual, organizational, provincial and/or national perspective. Whether you are managing the preservation of a digital community photograph collection, navigating corporate records systems
and technologies, or using social media to provide access and engage stakeholders, we all need to strive towards a better understanding of the tools, technologies and best practices needed to successfully manage our digital records and navigate a digital world.</span></p>
