For several years now, the U.S. government has been working to transition toward a greater amount of electronic record keeping. This past June, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) jointly issued a memorandum designed to regulate that U.S. Federal records “are created, retained and managed in electronic formats” by the end of 2022. That memorandum is known as OMB M-19-21.
