The Records Management Office (RMO), formerly Archives & Records, provides guidance for the maintenance and disposition of the Lab’s records according to DOE requirements. As our office no longer accepts paper records, we are working with IT Business Systems to develop business processes for the maintenance of electronic records. Please contact records@lbl.gov for information.
Interim guidelines for maintaining electronic records
- Save electronic files as PDFs and store them on Google drives.
- Create folders on the drives and file the PDFs according to their subject.
- Share the drive with those in your department/group who require access.
- Contact Cyber Security regarding controlled information.
- If files cannot be easily extracted from the source system, they can remain in the system for now. Records should not be deleted from systems prior to the required disposition. Contact records@lbl.gov for guidance.
- Additional information on electronic records can be found here.

Research & Development (R&D) Records
