NARA prepares for a new era in records management

The numbers are enormous—1 billion military personnel files and 600 million
Census Bureau records, to name just two examples. Federal agencies are
producing millions of records each year and are struggling to manage them.

In addition, records management has not been the most popular subject among
agency executives, leaving records managers paddling against the managerial
current. The National Archives and Records Administration recognized the
e-records glut early on and since 1997 has been working on a solution—the
Electronic Records Archive system.

But the new application, for which NARA is competing a contract between
Lockheed Martin Corp. and Harris Corp. of Melbourne, Fla., is at least three
years away. In the meantime, NARA is working with agencies to lessen the
impact of managing these records.
