The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is the nation's record keeper. We identify, protect, preserve, and make publicly available the historically valuable records of all three branches of the federal government. NARA is also the nation’s records manager.

One of NARA’s newest guidance products to federal agencies is regulations with digitization standards for permanent records.
