ERA Research
The ERA Research Program was established by NARA in 1998 in acknowledgement of the universal problem of preserving accessing electronic records. To face this challenge, we have established partnerships with world-class computer scientists, engineers, and information management professionals.
Since its establishment, the Research Program has conducted and supported empirical research with all sizes of archives, libraries, universities, Federal agencies, and public and private sector industry experts.
Research informs the development and testing of the ERA System, and supports many of ERA's initiatives by identifying potential in new technologies, promoting knowledge and technology transfer from research projects, bringing together partners with diverse domain expertise, and leveraging other research.

NSTC RELEASES STRATEGY FOR DIGITAL SCIENTIFIC DATA
The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) released a report describing a strategy to promote preservation and access to digital scientific data. The report, Harnessing the Power of Digital Data for Science and Society, was produced by the NSTC's Committee on Science under the auspices of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in the Executive Office of the President. The open and timely publication of digital scientific data called for in the report will advance President Obama's plan to democratize data by publishing government information online in forms that the public can readily find and use.
