Introduction
What is Records Management?
Records Management can be defined as a process for the systematic management of all records and the information or data that they contain.
The underlying principles of effective records management is that records of all types should be stored in the most appropriate way, are easily retrievable, are kept no longer than necessary and are disposed of properly.
A record comprises of recorded information in any form created, or received and maintained by a person or persons in the transaction of their affairs and kept as evidence of such activity.
Records may be correspondence files, forms, maps, plans, drawings, microfilm, videos, photographs, audio tapes, films, e-mail and electronic documents such as spreadsheets.
