Modernization has been a keyword for agencies throughout government in the 21st century. Paper records are a big part of the digitization effort, but what if your agency\\u2019s role is to be a steward of the preservation and documentation of government and historical records? In the case of the national archives and records administration, it means that the agency has an extra responsibility to make its work accessible to the public and be responsible in its digital record preservation of records.

As part of GovExec Media\\u2019s Genius Machines event series recently, Nextgov Senior editor Aaron Boyd spoke to NARA Chief Innovation Officer Pamela Wright, about how the agency is modernizing. In this episode, you\\u2019ll hear part of their conversation about NARA as it remakes itself into a digital-first agency.
