Abstract

The exponential growth of digital content in organizations and the obligation to ensure the preservation of documents makes the need more evident for mechanisms to ensure its authenticity, integrity and security. A case of the Archives of the Barcelona Town Hall, following the pioneering experience of the Amsterdam Town Hall Archives is presented. The Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) from Hitachi Data Systems  was installed as a secure repository of digital documents. The project also included a review of current working patterns in an effort to establish procedures and best practices for digitization.
