Many organizations do not yet have a formal programme of records management, but increasingly they are recognizing the benefits of well managed records and the serious consequences of inadequate records systems.

It offers invaluable advice on the management of records in both electronic and traditional paper media, and focuses on the following areas:
understanding records management
analysing the context for records management
classifying records and documenting their context
creating and capturing records; managing appraisal, retention and disposition
maintaining records and assuring their integrity

implementing records management.
The appendices provide a wealth of additional information including a list of standards for records management, an annotated bibliography and sources of further information, and details of professional and advisory bodies.
