Records Management
The basics of what to keep, what to discard, and when to
do so, and how to handle the records you keep, and
records to be created in the future.
Proper arrangement of materials
Files Management Records retention
Ideal storage condition
Safeguard vital information (Preserve organizational
memory)
Reduce operating costs
What is records management? the efficient and
systematic control of the creation, receipt,distribution,
use, maintenance, storage, and disposal of records.

Why do we need a system for managing records?


How many people in your office regularly make use of
records?
Is your office clogged up with piles of paper? As a rule,
can you find a document generated in less than five minutes?
What would happen in the event of a
fire or flood on your premises?
Does your office have an off-site
storage of important records? Does
your office have a back-up system for
computer- based records?
Goals of a Records Management Program

Create only necessary records for efficient and


successful operation of the office/institution.

Produce the records when needed.

Retain/preserve only records needed for continued


operation of the office/ institution,

Dispose what is not needed.


Ingredients for an effective records
management
Files plan which indicates what,
where, and how it is organized.
Retention schedule which indicates
how long to keep the records and what
to do with them once the retention
period has expired.
Security access schedule - which
indicates who has access to what

What is a record?
Any information created, received and maintained as
EVIDENCE and INFORMATION by an organization in
pursuance of its legal obligations or business
transactions. Its not just paper anymore.
electronic records, floppy disks, CDs, tapes, DVDs
may contain records of importance, and if not
well preserved may be unreadable,
inaccessible and gone. A record is
a record, regardless of format!
Typical records Information pertaining to advisory boards, councils
and committees Meeting materials Program, policy, and procedure
development documentation Program area activity, production and
employee reports and files Project files Business-related memos or
correspondence Open records requests and responses Reports to
senior management Calendars, schedules and logs of daily activities
Non-records If content is: of a transitory nature social, meeting or
announcement type of notices information only requiring no action
personal messages and chit-chat
Examples of Non-records Personal information not related to
business Reference material Duplicate / multiple copies General
announcements Drafts /working papers without substantive
comments/rough notes, calculations, etc. THEN GET RID OF IT!
Types of record value -
Informational Value end date dependent on subject
being described (e.g. period of performance evaluation
report vs. details of 10-year strategic development plan)
Evidentiary Value end date dependent on the activity
being documented (e.g. travel expenses vs. policy
decisions)

Dont agonize! Organize. Knowing


where and
what your documents are, is just as
important as
where your file cabinets are and what is
Principles in arrangement (Principle of Original order)
,
referring to original order of arrangement Emphasis was on establishing
the authenticity and integrity of the record as evidence. records are to
be maintained in records/archives repositories in the same scheme of
order and with the same designations they received in the course of the
business of their office of origin and primary use.
Levels of arrangement Subordinate administrative unit under the record
group Record group Sub-group, Series. Sub-series Basic unit which
refers to a set of documents resulting from the same Item File function
or activity, or having a common form or relationship arising item from
their creation, receipt or use

FILING
Common filing problems (inability to locate the required
document quickly due to disorderly filing) related
records
are filed under different categories the retrieval rate is poor
missing and misplaced documents mean too much time
spent
looking for files.

(incomplete files and backlogs of unfiled records


exist)
filing cabinets are jammed with inconsistent bulging

When to create new files
a new function, subject, activity or project is commenced
or
an existing subject, activity or project is further developed
and
needs to be split across several files

an existing file becomes too large and a new part is


required

no existing file is appropriate for the document(s)


Reminders Explore your options, and adapt to best serve
your office needs and use Keep it as simple as possible Take time
to fully develop file structures using what is already familiar. Have
patience, and be sure to take time to train and educate file creators
and users. Ideal storage conditions : climate and humidity controlled
environment in acid-free boxes, file folders, cartons and manuscript
boxes
Files Equipment made of steel compact and space-
efficient
allowance for easy extraction & replacement of files

Records Retention Also known as Should it stay, or
should it go?

What is a Retention Schedule? An approved legal document that


specifies minimum retention periods for a record series and gives
agencies ongoing disposition authority after approved retention periods
are met. Retention scheduling determining the length of time that the
records should remain in the originating office usually influenced by
such factors as their administrative values to the creator as a general
rule, records are to remain in the originating office as long as they are
active records that are inactive but still of value should remain in a
storage facility; while records with no archival value should be
disposed of records with archival values should be transferred to the
archives
First step : analyze the records of the organization to determine
what series or categories of materials exist (e.g. correspondence,
administrative files, project files, personnel records, etc.)
Second step : determine whether various categories of materials
have intrinsic, evidentiary, or informational value
Third step : if documents are evidentiary or informational in nature,
determine if their value has a logical end date.
Fourth : if value is time restricted, determine what the end dates of
the value are and schedule destruction of records on or after that
date.
Fifth : If value is enduring, determine whether records are needed
for operation of organization; if so, keep on site. If not, identify and
prepare to be sent to an archive facility.
Records Disposal
Shredding is the preferred method for destruction of records. A
completed Certificate of Disposal is required for any disposal
-destruction or transfer. Certificates of Disposal demonstrate that we
are following our policies and serve as proof of legal disposition.
Creation and Use Active or Semi-Active Retention Period X =
Minimum period of time to keep. Records Disposition Disposal
happens when the minimum retention period has been met.
Destruction or transfer to an Archives Can only be done in
accordance with your approved records retention schedules.
Anytime your office has been notified of impending litigation, do not
dispose of any records for any reason. Retention schedules become
mute at this point.
Training and Outreach
Regularly provide workshops and other training which outline basic
program policies and procedures and office responsibilities.
Establish a system of records liaisons or coordinators within the
major units of the institution/organization to serve as basic contacts
for the records management program.
Publicize, inform, and educate thru newsletters, brochures on
various records management topics, and electronic communication
technologies (emails, blogs, alerts).
