ERA 2.0: The national archives new framework for electronic records preservation

The United States National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is refactoring its Electronic Records Archive (ERA) systems used for scheduling, transferring, processing, reviewing, describing, transforming, and storing electronic records received from U.S. government agencies for permanent preservation in support of long‐term public access to federal records. The project is following an Agile approach, toward the end of implementing a modular, cloud‐based suite of tools and microservices to support archival functions across the electronic records lifecycle. The implementation will also upgrade digital preservation functionality extant in the current production system, and enable additional efficiencies and automation in the processing of electronic records at scale to make records available to the public more quickly.
