The announcement was made during a press conference at NARA headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Harris is acting as the prime systems integrator for its team, leading the development, integration, deployment and operation of the total archiving solution for NARA. Other team members are Booz, Allen and Hamilton, CACI International, Inc. and Information Manufacturing Corporation. Once complete, the ERA will be able to accept any type of electronic record, including federal, presidential and other records of significant historical value that are created using any kind of application on any computing platform, and will be able to provide search and retrieval to anyone with an interest and a legal right of access.
