* (US) National Archives Digitizes More than 500 Volumes of US Navy Muster Rolls from 19th Century
The US National Archives has partnered with the Joint Institute for the study of Atmospheric and Ocean (JISAO), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration (NOAA) and the University of Washington to digitize more than 500 volumes of US Navy muster rolls from the 19th century. These are now available to the public through the National Archives Catalog.
The muster rolls are the official lists of enlisted sailors from 1861 to 1879. The muster roll data provide not only the names, birthplaces, ages, discharges, and physical description of enlisted seamen but also information on contraband sailors.
If you are looking for ships’ muster rolls for later years you can help: The National Archives will digitize thousands of Navy logbooks containing new-to-science ocean and weather data as well as the names of ship’s officers and other details of daily shipboard life. After the digitization of the logbooks is complete, the Archives and NOAA will call upon citizen archivists, genealogical researchers, and climate scientists to help transcribe information from the logbooks and muster rolls into digital formats usable by computers. Citizen archivists can now transcribe this muster roll data from the catalog.

In 2018, it became known that the StaatsArchiv Hamburg did on the unconscionable destruction of over one million death records from 1876-1953. This was taken very seriously and IAJGS amongst others wrote to various Hamburg officials. IAJGS received a response from Dr. Carsten Brosda, Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg Minister of Culture and Media. In the letter he acknowledges that the State Archives reviewed their actions and concluded their decision to appraise the series was "flawed". "Both the Ministry for Culture and Media and the State Archives were going to hold discussions with historians and researchers on the matter.
The August 1 edition of the Archiv Journal is devoted to this archival records tragedy-where they do call it an error. This includes the discussion with the archivists and researchers.

* (Australia) National Archives of Australia Racing to Digitize Magnetic Tape Collections
The National Archives of Australia (NAA) are racing to digitize their magnetic tape collections before 2025 when it will become impossible to find working tape playback machines. This is not a problem unique to the Australian archives. Tapes can only be read by format-specific machines, unlike film. The heads on the machine readers have a finite number of hours before it needs replacement, During the latter half of the 20thcentury many archives created magnetic tape files, using Betamax versions. In 2016, Sony announced they would stop making Betamax tapes. The machine readers used by the NAA are obsolete and have not been manufactured for years.
The National Archives of Australia has 13,000 hours of audio and video tape that need to be rescued. Tapes contain Australian government agencies actions which the Archives needs to retain to fulfill its mission of preserving the history of the Australian government which affect the rights and entitlements of Australians. NAA is trying to find tape machines where ever they can find them.
