ERA Acquisition Information

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) ensures ready access to essential evidence that documents the rights of citizens, the actions of Federal officials, and the national experience. NARA supports lifecycle management of records in all three (3) branches of the Federal Government and provides sustained access to historically valuable records in the National Archives and the Presidential Libraries.

Increasingly, these records are created and maintained in electronic formats. NARA needs to respond effectively to the challenge posed by the diversity, complexity, and enormous volume of electronic records being created today and the rapidly changing nature of the systems that are used to create them. Electronic records pose unique difficulties including ease of erasure and advancing technology that renders records obsolete in a short period of time. The solution must ensure that electronic records are as accurate decades in the future as they were when first created. NARA must make an investment in Electronic Records Archives (ERA) to capture, preserve, and provide access to electronic records or risk losing them forever.
