Memorandum to Federal Records Management Contacts: Blog Posts for Federal Records Management in the Presidential Transition

Agencies are reminded of their continued responsibility to manage records in accordance with the Federal Records Act during a presidential transition. Over the last month, we have shared information about records management for federal agencies on our Records Express blog: 

• Transition Post #1: General Overview and Records Management Resources 
• Transition Post #2: Entrance and Exit Checklists when Entering and Leaving Federal Service 
• Transition Post #3: Managing Electronic Messages and Social Media Accounts

Additional transition resources are available on our website: 

• Letter to Agency Heads from the Archivist of the United States 
• Records Management Guidance for Political Appointees and Senior Officials
• Records Management Guidance for Federal Employees
• GSA Transition Directory - Records Management

Please send any questions about records management in the transition to rmpolicy@nara.gov.
