Welcome! This is the National Archives and Records Administration’s (NARA) blog to discuss all things RACO. This year’s Washington, DC area RACO is going to be held on May 28, 2009 at the Ronald Reagan Building. Our theme for this year is “Collaborating Across Boundaries: Government Records and Social Media” and this blog is one of the tools that we have developed to support RACO. We intend to use this blog to discuss the sessions and presentations from the conference and provide a platform to talk about ideas for future RACO conferences here in Washington or hosted by our regions across the nation.

This is a moderated blog. We welcome feedback from our readers. Our comment policy for this blog is posted here and we encourage users to contribute their comments.

The bloggers behind this blog are Paul Wester, Director of the Modern Records Programs; Susan Cummings, Deputy Director of Modern Records Programs; Laurence Brewer, Director of the Lifecycle Management Division; and Arian Ravanbakhsh, an electronic records policy analyst in the Modern Records Programs.
