About ERA

The Electronic Records Archives (ERA) System is a technology system and workflow management program designed to store and manage NARA’s electronic records and to manage the lifecycle of paper records and other holdings free from dependence on any specific hardware or software. ERA is needed to help meet NARA’s mission to make Government records available for the future; to protect records that ensure our rights; to help NARA capture, preserve, and provide access to Federal records; and to improve how NARA manages the lifecycle of Federal government records. Learn about the history of ERA on this site.
