Long-Term Electronic Archives: Modernization and Integration

Abstract

Over a period of about twenty years, the IIS SB RAS has created information systems of historical orientation: the Electronic Archive of Academician A.P. Ershov, the Photo Archive of the Siberian Branch of the RAS, the Archive of the newspaper “Science in Siberia”, the Open Archive of the SB RAS, etc. Each of the resources has its own specifics but in general their content is based on the general social and territorial basis of scientific and public activities of the SB AS USSR/RAS and the Novosibirsk Akademgorodok. In this report we will look at some of the problems of integrating/disintegrating disparate electronic resources into a common platform using existing and emerging tools.
