E-Records Symposium

New York State Archives Region 9 Advisory Committee recently sponsored an E-Records Symposium at the Suffern Free Library. The E-Records Symposium covered many topics of importance to people responsible for record keeping! There were over 50 local and state government attendees from Rockland, Westchester, Dutchess, Putnam, Orange Counties, and NYC. Some of the many topics included, Trends in Electronic Records Management, Freedom of Information Law, Geographic Information Systems in Local Government, Retention and Disposition of Electronic Records, as well as many other very important issues. This event was made possible by County Archivist Peter Scheibner, Ramapo Clerk Chris Sampson, Clarkstown Clerk David Carlucci, Michele Lowy, Wappinger Clerk Chris Masterson, Regional Advisory Officer Linda Bull, Patty Dohrenwend, Mount Vernon Clerk Lisa Copeland, David Lowry, and Vina Shah.

Carlucci Appointed by Acting Commissioner of Education

I am very excited that I have recently been appointed by New York State's Acting Commissioner of Education, Kathy A. Ahearn, to the Local Government Records Regional Advisory Committee for Region 9. The Regional Advisory Committees advise the New York State Archives and the Local Governments Records Advisory Council (LGRAC) on the delivery of regional advisory services and grants-in-aid to local governments under the Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund. The Regional Advisory Committees operate under procedures adopted by the New York State Archives. Working with my esteemed colleagues throughout the region in formulating measures that seek to improve the services provided by the Records Management Officers in our local governments is going to be awesome! Please let me know if you have any suggestions or questions.
