The National Archives and Records Administration is an independent federal agency
of the United States government, responsible for preserving the nation’s history and
managing its federal records. NARA has a wide range of publications available on
archival management issues; the website provides details. People can also view
NARA’s general disposal schedules online through the website.
NARA has developed a wide range of training tools and online resources, including a
CD-based self-study course called Records Management for Everyone as well as a
series of online and face-to-face courses on records and archives issues, some of
which are available outside of the government environment. More information about
training opportunities and resources can be found at http://www.archives.gov/recordsmgmt/training/.
Also available is the Toolkit for Managing Electronic Records, a web
portal that provides summary descriptions of a range of products and resources
created to help organisations manage their electronic records. These tools have been
developed by NARA and by other organisations around the world. The toolkit, which
operates much like a searchable catalogue or index of resources, is searchable online
at http://toolkit.archives.gov/.
Among the many NARA publications relevant to electronic records management is
NARA Guidance on Managing Web Records, published in January 2005 and available
at http://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/policy/managing-web-records.html.
