National Archives Strategic Plan
Our Strategic Plan: Preserving the Past to Protect the Future
The Strategic Plan of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) 2006-2016 details our goals for the next 10 years, the strategies we will use to achieve these goals, and the measures by which we will evaluate our progress. This plan was created with the input of our staff at all levels, our customers both within and outside of the Government, our stakeholders, and our colleagues in the archival, historical, and records management communities.
Every three years we must update this plan, which allows us to take stock of accomplishments, make adjustments for new mission requirements, and improve the way we measure our performance. This update covers the period from FY 2010 to FY 2016.
