About the Program

Over the past few years, it had become clear that the University of Washington was on a fast track to going paperless. With the advent of modern central systems, with online forms, with e-signatures – more and more records were being created and received electronically. And then the pandemic removed the last rationalization for continuing to produce paper records.  Paper became a liability. UW Records Management Services worked on a number of initiatives and tools with other campus partners like Marketing, Sustainability and UW-IT to make this transition.

  • We focused on identifying and helping to eliminate roadblocks to going electronic.
  • We created new resources and tools to help make it easier to manage electronic records.
  • And we closed the University Records Center to the ingestion of new records for storage.

Join Barbara Benson, University Records Officer and Director of Records Management Services for a case study of what UW Records Management Services did to dive the UW in the direction of a paperless environment.
