As policy, Staff and Office Files are processed at the folder level, that is, individual documents are not selected and removed from a folder for processing. White House Staff and Office Files were maintained at the folder level by staff members within their individual offices and documents all levels of administration activity. Staff and Office files are processed at the folder level. Individual documents are not selected and removed from Staff and Office files for processing. While this method maintains folder integrity, it frequently results in the incidental processing of documents that are not wholly responsive to the subject area. The Automated Records Management System (ARMS) is a database that contains email records of the Executive office of the President. This system maintained unclassified Presidential record email. The ARMS dataset is comprised of 6 sub-series of email records called “Buckets.” The buckets include NPR, OPD, POTUS, WHO, CEA, and Default. ARMS emails are arranged chronologically by creation date.
