  1. NARA INITIATIVES ON GEOSPATIAL DATA RECORDS FGDC Coordination Group Meeting, May 3, 2005 Ken Thibodeau, Director Electronic Records Archives Program Management Office

  2. Geospatial Data : Federal Records • A Federal Record • Any piece of information, regardless of form or characteristics, made or received by an agency in going about its business • That is, or should be, kept • As evidence of that activity • Because it contains valuable data • 44 U.S.C. 3301 • NARA • Provides direction, guidance, and assistance to all agencies in managing their records, and • Preserves records with “enduring” value in the National Archives • Through lifecycle management of records

  3. Directives and Guidance • 36 CFR Subchapter B - Records Management • Part 1228 -- Disposition of Federal Records • Scheduling Records • Transfer of Records to Records Storage Facilities • Transfer of Records to the National Archives of the United States • 1228.268 Cartographic and architectural records • 1228.270 Electronic records • Guidance (examples) • Disposition of Federal Records • Documenting Your Public Service • Managing Audiovisual Records • Managing X-Ray Films as Federal Records • Moving? Consolidating? Reorganizing? • Vital Records and Records Disaster Mitigation and Recovery

  4. Process for Saving Geospatial Records • Authorize Disposition for all Records • Temporary & Permanent • Identify records with Archival Value • To be transferred to the National Archives, • Or to an “affiliated archives,” • Or to be preserved by the originating agency • Coordination across agency divisions

  5. Types of Cartographic Records Preserved in the National Archives • Exploration and Scientific Surveys • Public Land Surveys and Settlement • Indian Affairs • Hydrography and Navigation • Topography and Natural Resources • Census Mapping • Urban Development • Maps of Foreign Countries • Military Campaigns • Aerial Photographs

  6. Digital Spatial Data Records in the National Archives • Records of The National Agricultural Statistics Service • Crop Estimates: County-level Estimates Of Crop Yields, 1972-1989 • Records of The Bureau of The Census • Annual Housing Surveys/American Housing Surveys (AHS), Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas • Census of Population And Housing, 1950, Public Use Sample, 1/100 Sample • Records of The U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff • Combat Air Activities File (Cacta), Oct. 1965-dec. 1970 • Records of The National Institute of Education • National Assessment of Educational Progress, Study Year 1, 1969-1970 • Records of The Historic American Buildings Survey • Historic American Buildings Survey/ Historic American Engineering Records Database • Records of The Law Enforcement Assistance Administration • Capital Punishment In The United States, 1973-1987 • Records of The Environmental Protection Agency • Toxic Chemical Release Inventory System

  9. Electronic & Special Media Services Division • Transfer: getting data into NARA • Verify: records are what was scheduled for transfer • Validate: records conform to specs • Preserve and Store: tar and put on DLTs • Reference: provide access on request

  10. Aspects of the Electronic Records Challenge • Diversity • Complexity • Open-ended Growth • Obsolescence • Continuing change • Durability
