The study by the American Institute of Physics (AIP) of records management and appraisal at Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories is the most extensive such study thus far. Some eight-man years were spent, primarily on site at Argonne, Brookhaven, Lawrence Berkeley, and Oak Ridge National Laboratories. These studies were supplemented by a questionnaire survey of some 40 DOE installations and a study of other federal scientific agencies. The project was guided throughout by a blue ribbon advisory committee of scholars, archivists, and records managers, who co-authored the project's set of recommendations to DOE. Major support for the study was provided by the DOE Office for Energy Research and the four laboratories that were the focus of the study. This final report on the AIP project consists of two sections: the main report with summary information and with detailed recommendations to DOE, and an Appendix with detailed information on the elements of the project and its findings.
