The GAO has just released a report on the development of the Electronic Records Archive under the National Archives and Records Administration.
The ability to find, organize, use, share, appropriately dispose of, and save
records—the essence of records management—is vital for the effective
functioning of the federal government. In the wake of the transition from
paper-based to electronic processes, records are increasingly electronic,
and the volumes of electronic records produced by federal agencies are
vast and rapidly growing, providing challenges to NARA as the nation’s
recordkeeper and archivist.
This may be connected to yesterday’s Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee NARA oversight hearing. (whose testimony I haven’t had a chance to read yet…)
Update:Â check out the testimony from the HSGAC hearing, looks like the ERA oversight was probably requested of GAO.
