Recordkeeping Guidance
From the
National Archives and Records Administration
From the day you start working in the Federal government, you create official records. These records are governed by either the Federal Records Act (44 U.S.C. Chapters 29, 31, 33) or the Presidential Records Act (44 U.S.C. 2201-2207). We at NARA are here to help you achieve two important goals:
- Creating and maintaining accurate and complete records of your and your office's functions and activities, and
- Appropriate disposition of documentary materials that are no longer needed to conduct business.
By following good recordkeeping practices, you will support and improve governmental operations and contribute to the body of records that provides essential evidence of Federal activities.
