Automation and the Naval Laboratories Archival Program: A Report and Recommendations.
Abstract
This automation study recommends an integrated system of records administration for records of permanent archival value consisting of two basic parts: (1) A central collection of general reference documents on Navy R&D, to be located in the Office of the Historian of Navy Laboratories; and (2) permanent archival documents generated by each of the laboratories, to remain in the laboratory or in a Federal records center under the control of the laboratory until such time as the records were relinquished to the National Archives and Records Services. This integrated system of archival records management would be guided by the Navy Laboratories Archives through the use of a regulated, automated information collection system. Integrated automated information systems within each of the laboratories should be of direct benefit (1) to the offices that input data, by allowing them to retrieve it in a more efficient and cost effective manner; (2) to other users by making available information concerning permanent records related to Navy R&D; and (3) to the Navy Laboratories History Program, by providing it with knowledge of historically valuable records and their location with the Navy Laboratory System.
