St. Louis: Construction of New NARA Facility (National Personnel Records Center) Will Begin in Next Few Months

From the Announcement:

Reported to be one of the most complex projects in St. Louis County history, the $100 million new high-performance facility for the National Archives and Records Administration’s (NARA) National Personnel Records Center is just months away from the start of construction, retaining nearly 800 jobs. The first phase of the project is scheduled for completion by May 2011.

It has been fifteen months since the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) awarded the contract to secure 23.5 acres of land at 1829 Dunn Road for the construction of the 474,690-square-foot records center.

[Snip]

The National Personnel Records Center will be the largest national archives facility outside of the greater Washington, D.C. area, with a central repository of personnel-related records for both military and civil service employees. In 2005, Congress authorized the release of many records including those of significant historical relevance such as Elvis Presley, Presidents John F. Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower and sports legends Roberto Clemente and Jackie Robinson. The facility is the record gatekeeper to government agencies, military veterans, former civilian federal employees, family members, as well as researchers and historians and responsible for over one million record requests annually.

The majority of NARA operations will relocate from the Federal Records Center at 9700 Page Avenue to the new building, which will be located on land previously owned by North County automotive dealer Johnny Londoff. Other local NARA facilities also will move to the facility.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
