This document highlights observations and recommendations for the South Carolina Department of Archives and History (SCDAH) regarding their electronic records management. It emphasizes the importance of clear role delineation among teams, the need for consistent knowledge across units, and leveraging resources from the Department of Corrections as a benchmark. The document calls for pilot projects, establishing indexing standards, and utilizing a data warehouse for consistency. Moreover, there’s a strong plea for SCDAH to assert its authority in electronic record stewardship and to facilitate citizen access through improved GIS and enterprise systems.
