Electronic Records Archives (ERA)

ERA Logo 

ERA is the National Archives and Records Administration's strategic initiative to preserve and provide long-term access to uniquely valuable electronic records of the U.S. Government, and to transition government-wide management of the lifecycle of all records into the realm of e-government.

ERA Reaches Another Milestone

Acting Archivist of the United States Adrienne Thomas announced at a Press Briefing held on September 2, that the National Archives is well on its way to loading the electronic records of President George W. Bush into the Electronic Records Archives (ERA) system. To date, more than 85% of the total volume has been ingested. ERA is the National Archives signature program to ensure government records with lasting value remain accessible into the future.
