Alignment with Strategic Goals & Performance Measures - The current strategic goals of the National Archives are: * One: As the nation’s record keeper, we will ensure the continuity and effective operation of Federal programs by expanding our leadership and services in managing the Government's records. * Two: We will preserve and process records to ensure access by the public as soon as legally possible. * Three: We will address the challenges of electronic records in Government to ensure success in fulfilling NARA's mission in the digital era. * Four: We will provide prompt, easy, and secure access to our holdings anywhere, anytime. * Five: We will increase access to our records in ways that further civic literacy in America through our museum, public outreach, and educational programs. * Six: We will equip NARA to meet the changing needs of our customers. These six goals enable the National Archives to fulfill its mission to "serve American democracy by safeguarding and preserving the records of our Government, ensuring that the people can discover, use, and learn from this documentary heritage." Open government is a fundamental part of our business. Transparency, participation, and collaboration are important approaches to accomplishing our strategic goals. Because of our unique mission, our performance measures are already tracking our progress related to open government. NARA's Internal Open Government Working Group will review performance measures already established and make recommendations for additional measures related to open government. Additional information about specific strategies for accomplishing these goals and performance measures are found in Preserving the Past to Protect the Future, The Strategic Plan of the National Archives and Records Administration (http://www.archives.gov/about/plans-reports/strategic-plan/).
