+  ## Archiving the Repository
+
+  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to the Federal Open Source Community. 🙏
+  
+  As part of preparing the repository for archival, this pull request marks the repository for archival and ensures code.json repository metadata is up-to-date.
+
+  If you have questions, please file an issue [here](https://github.com/DSACMS/automated-codejson-generator/issues) or join our #cms-ospo slack channel [here](https://cmsgov.enterprise.slack.com/archives/C07HM92S9QQ).
+
+  ## Next Steps
+  ### Verify project metadata in code.json
+  - Review all fields to ensure metadata is correct and accurate
+  - We have automatically updated some fields but some require manual input. Please update fields by directly editing code.json in Files Changed tab on your pull-request
+  - We also have a [form](https://dsacms.github.io/codejson-generator/) where you can create your code.json via a website, and then download directly to your local machine, and then you can copy and paste into here.
+
+  If you would like additional information about the code.json metadata requirements, please visit the repository [here](https://github.com/DSACMS/gov-codejson).
