In archives, leadership is not merely a role but a proactive stance transcending the archival domain’s boundaries.
Digital preservation is crucial to safeguarding cultural and historical heritage for future generations.
Archivists play a crucial role in safeguarding the past and extracting valuable insights using cutting-edge technology.
Archivists should embrace technology, focusing on digitization benefits, digital platforms, interactive resources, and data-driven insights.
Archivists provide clarity to collections. They help users understand records of enduring value: what they are, who created them, and what events they represent.
To do so, they identify groupings of records. Then, they explain aggregations of records through appraisal, processing, and description. Through the archival process, archivists transform complex groupings of primary sources into insightful and succinct information through arrangement and description.
Organizations benefit from records and archival management programs in both tangible and intangible ways.
The purpose of an archives is to preserve and make accessible the various elements of the historical and enduring value of a business, organization, agency, family, or other entity. Significant components include files, photographs, correspondence, legal documents, press clippings, and a wide range of informational items in between.
With a records retention schedule, retention policy, and collection policy in hand and ideal storage located, the archives program can work on the arrangement and description (also known as processing) of the records of enduring value.
Within each department, the archivist will refine the arrangement of materials to be prepared for the archives, rehouse material, and create inventories to facilitate future access by staff members and other researchers.
