- Managing Government Records
- Presidential Memorandum. The White House - Office of the Press Secretary, November 28, 2011. "... This memorandum begins an executive branch wide effort to reform records management policies and practices.

Modernized records management will also help executive departments and agencies (agencies) minimize costs and operate more efficiently. Improved records management thus builds on Executive Order 13589 of November 9, 2011 (Promoting Efficient Spending), which directed agencies to reduce spending and focus on mission critical functions..."

- Electronic Government: National Archives and Records Administration's Fiscal Year 2011 Expenditure Plan - GAO-11-299
- Government Accountability Office, March 4, 2011. "Since 2001, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has been working to develop an Electronic Records Archive (ERA) to preserve and provide access to massive volumes of all types of electronic records. NARA originally planned to complete the system in 2012, but has repeatedly revised the program schedule and estimated cost and is now planning to deploy an ERA system with reduced functionality by the end of fiscal year 2011. As required by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010, and the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, NARA submitted an expenditure plan to Congress to support its request for fiscal year 2011 ERA funding.

To do this, GAO reviewed the expenditure plan and other agency documents and interviewed NARA officials..."

Queensland public authorities are aware that when working in the Web 2.0 environment recordkeeping obligations must be met. Responses indicate that they are working towards the development of strategies and processes that will enable them to meet their legislative recordkeeping requirements, but these are generally not yet in place..."
