Legal Constraints
Digital Archives from Public Enquiries and Commissions
Data from public enquiries and reconciliation commissions which can be traumatic, politically uncomfortable and contested, typically comes in many different forms and formats. Data protection issues and cultural sensitivities only amplify the challenge to preservations.
Digital Evidence and Records of Investigation Prior to Court
Digital materials assessed by police and other authorities in the course of investigation and retained as evidence of due process such as case files and correspondence, including materials not submitted to court.
Evidence in Court
Digital materials presented in court as evidence or documents such as rulings and proceedings generated through legal proceedings
Orphaned Works
Digital materials where copyright is uncertain, disputed or unknowable, meaning that preservation actions are constrained or prevented.
