Abstract
The article looks at the changing role of the archivist in the electronic age. It considers the new challenges posed, and some of the ways in which they are being met. Physical threats to records include technology obsolescence and physical deterioration of media. But a more fundamental issue that archivists and records managers have had to face is to reconsider what it is that constitutes a genuine 'record'. Only then can policies be put in place to ensure that they are preserved for as long as they are needed.
