ELECTRONIC RECORDS DAY

Submitted by ub on

October 10 is Electronic Records Day and the National Archives has enabled researchers to access federal records with computer applications.

The Federal Records Act of 1950 offers the legal framework for managing federal records, including their creation, upkeep, and disposition. Since the National Archives started collecting electronic data in the 1970s, these records have become invaluable tools for archive research.

The Research Services Electronic Records Division is home to more than 2,000 series of electronic records, totaling more than 800 million unique files and 400 terabytes in size, from more than 100 federal agencies. We also have electronic records from every White House dating back to President Ronald Reagan.
