Electronic Records Management Guidelines

Introduction
The Electronic Records Management Guidelines provide information on a variety of topics, such as file formats and file naming, electronic records management strategies, electronic document management systems, digital media, storage facilities and procedures, e-mail and web content management, and electronic and digital signatures.

Electronic Records Management Guidelines

You routinely create, use, and manage information electronically in your daily work as you use computers to send e-mail, create spreadsheets, publish web pages, manage databases, and create other electronic materials. Because you work for a government agency, Minnesota and federal laws mandate that you treat that information as official government records.

You probably already have a strategy to manage your paper records. Learn how to develop a strategy to manage electronic records by using these guidelines.
