Electronic Records Management Guidelines (MA)

The purpose of these Guidelines is to help ensure that government electronic records are created, maintained, disseminated and destroyed in a manner consistent with the transparency and accountability requirements of the Massachusetts Public Records Law, G. L. c. 66, ? 1, et seq. and the standards set by the Records Conservation Board. These Guidelines are intended to provide actionable recommendations to all entities subject to the provisions set by the Records Conservation Board in applying the requirements surrounding management of public records to the unique aspect of electronic records as defined by the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, in addition to information systems, regardless of format or location.
