Geof Huth serves as the Director of Government Records Services at the New York State Archives, where he oversees all archives and records management services to local governments and state agencies across the state. He frequently speaks about electronic records and other records management issues across New York and the country.
Previously, he served as the Manager of Records Advisory Services, overseeing a regionally-based program of archives and records management advisory services to local governments and state agencies in New York State.
