Publications on key policy issues

The management of electronic records is a vital element in the government's modernisation programme, and is key to underpinning online service delivery and conformance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

In addition to our specific advice and guidance, we have produced a number of more general publications that will assist records managers in central and local government to devise a coherent electronic records management policy, an implementation strategy and performance assessment. (These publications will also have relevance to other organisations wishing to manage electronic records.)

• The National Archives issues new guidance on the information, knowledge and records aspects of Machinery of Government changes (, 322.98kb)

• e-Government Policy Framework for Electronic Records Management (PDF, 348.14kb)
