I am Laura Starr, Government Program Manager and Director of Business Development at HAI. As a federal agency, digitization isn’t just important. It’s actually mandated. So is your agency ready to achieve compliance with the M-19-21/M-23-07 electronic records mandate? Just as a reminder, this mandate requires that all agency permanent records be managed and transferred to the National Archives and Records Administration in digital format. After June 30th, 2024, NARA will no longer accept permanent records in paper form. They must all be in digital format.

And I’m Danny Harbison, vice President of NOS.

And each type of record has specific requirements for handling and digitizing. These requirements are based on best practice within the industry, as well as specifications set forth by nara. So as a first step, our team conducts an audit of all of the materials in your care so that you know what you have. For example, are your records permanent? Are they long-term temporary or are they temporary records? Honestly, it’s probably a mix of all of these types. And then are all of your records in paper form or are some of them audio or video materials that will need special consideration and handling?
