Services
Records Analysts provide state agencies and local government offices with consulting services for establishing and maintaining effective public records management programs.

RAS provides:
- Advice on implementing public records management programs.
- Training through workshops presented regionally and on-site.
- Records management guidelines, standards, and manuals.
- Records Retention & Disposition Schedules for all public records, regardless of format.
- Assistance with identifying essential records and planning for emergencies.
