What is Records Management?

We all manage high volumes of information in the course of our business. Some of this information is transitory and can be destroyed or deleted once it’s served its purpose. Examples of this might include emails to arrange meetings, rough drafts and notes. However, other information provides important evidence of the County Council’s business activities and needs to be captured and retained; these are records. Records are not determined by their format – they are determined by the information contained within them.
