Welcome to the ERA Training Program

ERA Logo  

ERA is NARA's strategic response to the challenge of electronic records. ERA will authentically preserve and provide access to any kind of electronic record, free from dependency on any specific hardware or software, enabling NARA to carry out its mission into the future.

Our training mission is to ensure that ERA users will be prepared and equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to use the system. Answers to questions about who will use ERA, how to register for training, the training schedule, course offerings and descriptions, and more can all be discovered here. We hope you will find the information on this site valuable to you.
