Records Management Resources for State Agencies

Records are a crucial component of the governing process. They contain information that supports functions affecting every person in government or within its jurisdiction. Like other important state government resources, records and the information they contain need to be managed well to ensure accountability, efficiency, economy, and overall good government.

To help meet these challenges, the Department of Administrative Services, the Ohio Historical Society's State Archives Department and the Ohio Electronic Records Committee are developing services to promote the creation of sound records management programs as well as to enhance existing programs.

Staff from the Ohio Historical Society State Archives Division and the Department of Administrative Services are available to consult with state agencies on all aspects of records management and archival issues including:

• Records Management Program Planning and Evaluation
• Files and Recordkeeping System Design and Management
• Electronic Records Management and Recordkeeping
• Imaging and Micrographics
• Storage and Preservation

Please contact the Assistant State Archivist at 614-297-2581 or the State Records Administration at 614-466-1105 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
