Summary

Records management is crucial to ensuring that any organization can perform its mission effectively and can demonstrate transparency and accountability to its stakeholders; archives management ensures that we have reliable recorded evidence of the history of individuals, organizations and society as a whole. This book has followed the record's path from creation in an adequate recordkeeping system, through the application of classification and access techniques, evaluation for business, legal and historical value to proper destruction or preservation and access in the archive. Regardless of whether the cycle is split into two separate functions within an organization, the two are inextricably linked and complement each other.
