WEBINAR #4: NARA's Vision for Best Practices in Capturing Metadata
Featuring NARA Senior Electronics Records Policy Analysts Kevin De Vorsey, Anne Mason and Markus Most
Hosted by Ralph Gammon, Infosource Senior Analyst
January 29, 2:00 pm EST
With the US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and National Archives and Records Administration’s (NARA) M-23-07 now in effect, all federal agencies are required to submit their permanent records to NARA in an electronic format. This affects more than 100 million pages of records annually coming from hundreds of federal agencies. There has been a lot of talk in the Capture & IDP industry about imaging formats (FADGI, MTR), but there are also metadata requirements related to archival submissions. These requirements are listed in the Code of Federal Regulations 36 CFR Subpart E — Digitizing Permanent Federal Records, but what exactly do they entail, how are they best implemented, and what can software vendors and integrators do to help?
As part of Infosource’s Virtual Capture & IDP Conference Series, on Wednesday, January 29, from 2-3 PM Eastern, NARA’s Kevin De Vorsey will lead a discussion covering these topics. He will be joined by colleagues Markus Most and Anne Mason, and they will focus on several areas:
- NARA’s role in developing policies for federal agencies on the use of AI in record keeping
- The transition to all-digital government
- Metadata requirements as specified in 36 CFR 1236.54 and NARA Bulletin 2015-04
- The forthcoming Metadata Guidance for the Transfer of Classified Electronic Records
This is a can’t miss webinar for anyone involved with government records management. Keep in mind that what is implemented on the federal level, often trickles down to the state and local levels as well, with international government organizations often adopting similar practices. Please join us for this important and timely presentation by NARA officials which will be followed by Q&A.

BACKGROUND
After 18 years, Infosource’s annual Capture & IDP Conference is going virtual. It was a tough decision, but one we made with long-term sustainability goals in mind. With meetings increasingly moving online, it has become more difficult to support an in-person event. We fully realize that the networking and personal connections cannot be replicated online, but we are at least hoping to provide you with the same high-quality and educational content you’ve come to expect from us. On the plus side, the virtual conference will be free to attendees. Okay, so what exactly will the virtual conference consist of? Over the next 12 months, we will offer a total of six webinars modeled after our traditional conference sessions.
