I
just returned from the Society of American Archivist’s conference in
New Orleans, which was filled with days of learning (lot of work) and
evenings to relax (lots of fun) -- as you can see by images from Archives 2013, Burbon Street, and the
WWII Museum. The most important take-away for records managers and
archivists alike is the need to not only preserve the historical record
of our government but also to make a business case for the reform of
records management policies and practices to promote openness and
accountability and to reduce costs. An August 24, 2012, memorandum on
the subject of the “Managing Government Records Directive” cited two
central goals for federal agencies in the executive branch: 1) require
electronic recordkeeping to ensure transparency, efficiency, and
accountability and 2) demonstrate compliance with federal records
management statutes and regulations. Read the 2012 memorandum at http://www.whitehouse.gov/
