Municipal Record Digitization

In early 2022, SRPC launched the Municipal Record Digitization project to assist its municipalities with improving organizational resilience and help increase efficiency for municipal staff if and when required to work remotely. It also aims to increase citizen access to documents online.

The program, which launched in January and continued through September 2022, was offered at no cost to the municipalities through SRPC’s CARES Act funding, which supports technical assistance to the region’s municipalities. Due to the limitations of the funding source, this assistance of providing staff support to digitize records in each community was a one-time offer. However, the equipment continues to be made available to municipalities so they can keep on digitizing records on their own. SRPC will still provide transportation to and from each community and assist with equipment set up and tear down as needed.
