Project Documents
- Project Plan: A base set of documents useful for managing a project to build and launch an operational electronic records archives system.
- Business Case: A summation of the driving needs for operational electronic record archiving. A description of the specific needs to be addressed by an active ERA and cost-benefit analyses of the options available to realize those objectives. This work product is targeted to a senior manager audience.

Guidance
- E-mail Guidance: Responsible Recordkeeping: Email Records and Email Guidance were pubished by the Smithsonian Institution Archives. The Rockefeller Archive Center published Email Guidelines for Managers and Employees in September, 2006.

- Record Transfer: This is also a summary of the guidance common to both Rockefeller Archive depositors and Smithsonian Institution units.

- Training: Materials developed for the education of depositor personnel and/or Smithsonian staff.

Models
- ERA System Model: A conceptual model of the shared components of the ERA systems developed for each participating archive. The model will include a description of additional components unique to an archive where they are necessary for the basic operation of the ERA system. The scope will include both technical and orgaqnizational aspects.

Operational Systems
- Operational systems will be built for each participating archives and tested under normal conditions. Each system will be a localized implementation of the system model described above. Each system will include the means for accepting transfers, classifying records, assessing material for preservation needs, conducting preservation tasks, preparing accessions for archival storage, and managing the accessibility of accessioned records in a manner that reflects the unique role of that archival organization. System pilots are expected to be in use at the project conclusion.

Symposium / Case Studies
- Papers describing our findings, best practices, and lessons learned will be delivered at a symposium or professional conference. They will also be posted on this website.
