Protection of Information
• Protect all hard copies of records by filing them in labeled folders stored inside a locked (as practical) file cabinet. For born digital records, print them out and file them. After they’ve been printed and filed, delete them.
• When it is not practical to “print and file,” secure electronic records in File Surf ( as available) or, store them on a NARAnet storage location that is both password protected and backed-up.
Click here for specific suggestions on how to store email and other electronic records.
• Create a list of records you have identified and protected. Share
this list with your supervisor and co-workers so that they can gain access to this information in the event of your absence. Also, ensure that keys to locked storage are available.
