E-Records Management and Digital Preservation Work Group
State CIOs play an ever-increasing role regarding the lifecycle of electronic records management.

This working group will:- Build upon the E-Discovery Working Group's and Enterprise Architecture Committee's previous work on records management and digital preservation
- Produce a deliverable(s) that will identify and discuss state best practices for embarking on, implementing and maintaining an enterprise records management initiative
- Partner with other organizations, such as NARA (National Archives and Records Administration) and CoSA (Council of State Archivists)
