What is Records Management? 

Records Management is the process of controlling records from their creation to their ultimate disposition. As the principal source of information, records constitute a vital administrative tool with which the work of an organization is accomplished.

Why Records Management?

Records are an asset, like human resources, financial resources, property, equipment, etc.  Records support the services we provide at every level. Records management contributes to organizational efficiency, both by reducing cost associated with the records themselves and by providing supporting documentation when it becomes necessary.
