[NJARC] Are AT&T archives on the line?

[Goulart, Stephen F (Steve), ALABS]

Dave,
I think we have the same problem.

I think that Fred Carl has been in communications with ATT and Lucent
both and has offered space if the worst happens. At least Fred was
talking about having offered storage space to the ATT archivist last
year on another rumor of distruction.

If the ATT/SBC company has the cash which they should fund infoage to do
a telcom display don't you think.

Steve

Attention NJARC and InfoAge members, AT&T employees and dumpster divers:

 
This scary story ran in yesterday's Star Ledger.

Quote from the story: "They'll drag in the dumpster..."
 
Although SBC says they will continue to house the archives, the
pessimistic quote above continues "One thing we know about mergers --
the
survivor has to destroy the DNA of the victim."
 
My own experience with corporate mergers sides with the pessimistic guy.
 
In any case, we should be proactive on this in case anything slips
through the cracks. At the very least we should use the voice of the
club
to make some noise.
 
Does anybody closer to the issue have any comments on this?
