Ohio Electronic Records Committee(ERC)
State Archives, in conjunction with Ohio's Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Office of Policy and Planning (OPP), formed the Electronic Records Committee (ERC) to draft policy and guidelines for electronic records. Membership, drawn from policy makers, records managers, IT personnel, archivists, and librarians from various state agencies, universities, libraries and historical societies, is limited to 30-35 people who are committed to working towards solutions to electronic records issues.
