The materials in FOIA 22-26840-F.2 are a systematic body of documents responsive to the topic of the FOIA. Researchers should consult an archivist about related materials.
Documents responsive to this FOIA were found in these collection areas – Barack Obama Presidential Electronic Records and Staff Member Office Files.
The Executive Office of the President (EOP) instance of the Electronic Records Archive (ERA) contains electronic records created or received by President Barack Obama. These records are stored in Search and Access Sets (SAS) that represent their originating computer program, such as Exchange Email or the Worker and Visitor Entry System (WAVES). In addition to records captured from the White House’s electronic systems, EOP-ERA also contains records from the home and shared drives used by White House staff.
Staff Member Office Files are maintained at the folder level by staff members within their individual offices and document all levels of administration activity. Staff Member Office Files are processed at the folder level, that is, individual documents are not selected and removed from a folder 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.
