Archiving White House Email

from the not-an-easy-task dept

A very interesting look at the challenge the National Archive faces as it tries to archive 40 million emails from the Clinton White House. The article also discusses some of the issues that have come in the past concerning Reagan and Bush era White House emails. It seems that no one ever expected any of those emails to become public, so they have proven very valuable to historians who get more of an insider’s persepective on what was happening in the White House.
