Archives opens book on digital awards
The National Archives of Australia (NAA) has invited Commonwealth Departments and Agencies with innovative digital projects to nominate for the Archives’ 2017 Awards for Digital Excellence.
The Awards celebrate the positive changes and progress towards making digital information more robust, fit-for-purpose and available.
Director-General of the Archives, David Fricker said that complementing the recently announced chief information governance role, this year an additional award category would recognise an outstanding individual within the Australian Public Service who had championed information management reform.
“Award winners will be selected from case studies that demonstrate significant advancement towards meeting Digital Continuity 2020 policy targets,” Mr Fricker said.
Agencies urged to nominate
“Digital Continuity is an approach to creating and managing information that can be trusted and used for as long as needed despite technological change.”
He said the awards would be offered for Agencies with up to 200 staff; Agencies with between 200 and 1,000 staff; and Agencies with more than 1,000 staff.
Mr Fricker said last year’s winning entries included a process for gaining significant business benefits through digital transition and the development of a smartphone app for 6,500 Australians with bleeding disorders such as haemophilia.
Applications should be in the form of a case study (maximum of 1,000 words) with nominations open until 28 February 2017.
