Additional Details • Data reported for 2.2 includes both textual and non-textual records • Volume based on age of the records and not on their eligibility for transfer • Data quality issues suggest need for validation
Next Steps • The project team is continuing to review the data received and identifying where additional follow up and/or further clarification is needed • The team will adopt criteria and identify the top priorities for accessioning • In 2015, the team will develop transfer plans with agencies to accession the eligible priority records into the National Archives.
