The first step and the foundation of best practices is storing paper records — in a compliant facility. For the federal government, that means a NARA-compliant facility, according to 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 1234.

Once storage compliance is achieved, the second step in best practices is unifying hardcopy records and digital information. Documents that are in paper format can be converted to electronic format. Records that are accessed frequently can be converted in bulk. Paper documents that are rarely accessed can be stored until needed. Once requested, these documents can be retrieved, scanned, and made available electronically for rapid access.
