The National Archives recently announced a new phase in the ongoing project called the
Electronic Records Archives (ERA) whose
vision is to catalog and make available online electronic documentation produced by the Federal government (E-mails, Word Documents, etc), which otherwise could disappear entirely or at least be very difficult to locate. Funded with over 300 million and set to debut in 2007 and be complete by 2011 it is a project of
unusual scope and complexities but promises to make government more transparent to researches and the general public. [from MetaFilter.com]
