Update on ERA 2.0 Developments
The Electronic Records Archive (ERA) is set to undergo an upgrade with the introduction of ERA 2.0. While specific search results about the current status or availability dates for ERA 2.0 are scarce, there is a wealth of information available regarding its development and migration.
For users seeking guidance on ERA 2.0, the ERA training page serves as a valuable resource. Here, you can find job aids for setting up your MAX.gov profile and logging into ERA 2.0, as well as technical and historical references.
In terms of training, a webinar on "How to Prepare Transfer Requests in ERA" is scheduled for October 25, 2023. Users with an ERA account will find that they have been assigned the same roles and agency permissions in ERA 2.0 as in the original system.
As announced in AC memo 48.2023, ERA 2.0 will be available for records scheduling on September 18, 2023. However, it's important to note that the migration of Records Schedules, Transfer Requests, and related data into ERA 2.0 is still ongoing, with some delays in the data migration effort.
Regarding updates, an August 2023 BRIDG presentation discussed changes to ERA 2.0, while presentations in October 2022, December 2022, and February 2023 provided updates on its progress. A June 2023 BRIDG presentation also discussed the phased approach to launching ERA 2.0.
