This report examines several important long-term issues in archiving electronic records, including coping with technological change, reengineering archival processes for electronic records, partnering with other institutions, broadening research interactions, and assuring record integrity and authenticity.

This final report focuses on longer-term, more strategic issues that are related to electronic records archiving at NARA, including technology and other trends that shape the context in which the ERA exists, the archival processes of the ERA itself, and the future evolution of the ERA system. In addition, it addresses an important set of technical and design issues associated with assuring record integrity and authenticity that were not covered in detail in the committee's earlier reports.

The committee's findings and recommendations are organized under and support the following six high-level recommendations:

1. Get ready for a rapidly rising tide of electronic records.
2. Plan for continuing technology change and increasing user expectations.
3. Reengineer relations with federal agencies to help them create records that are archive-ready.
4. Do not assume that ERA is unique: become more involved with other organizations that have interests in preserving electronic records.
5. Learn how to exploit the enthusiasm and capabilities of the research community and work with others who do that well.
6. Take strong measures internally and provide government-wide leadership to ensure record integrity and provenance.
