RECORDS AND ARCHIVES MANAGEMENT IN ORGANIZATIONS

Аннотация

Archives and records share close affinity except that while the former preserves and makes available for use records of enduring value, the latter is all about organic documents used for current transactions. The social relevance of archives and records is in their usefulness for decision making, day-to-day running of organizations and enhancing efficiency in transactions. That they are vehicles for evidence of past achievements for which present and future efforts seek improvement, valuable evidence in legal proceedings, invaluable academic and research material, the memory of society and reservoir of knowledge, sources of national consciousness and identity, tools for preserving national unity and culture, and sources of useful demographic data add to
their value in society.
