National Archives are Going Digital?

A PC World Story reports that the National Archives are going to offer an Electronic Records Archives, scheduled to open by 2007. However, it won't be complete; the archives are not expected to be finished until 2011, when they will contain several petabytes of data. (1 petabyte = 1 million gigabytes.)

Information included in the archives varies a lot: services records, historic documents, documentation, etc. No word on the order of what will be archived. You can read the whole story for yourself at http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/pcworld/20040804/tc_pcworld/117259 .
