Records Management
State Records Management makes available to state government agencies the tools to ensure the efficient management of information by assisting them in the establishment of a records management program. Such a program is a planned and coordinated set of policies, procedures, and activities needed to manage an agency's recorded information. This program encompasses the creation, maintenance and use, and disposition of records, regardless of the media in which the information is kept (i.e. paper, microfilm, disk, magnetic tape, electronic, etc.) The division provides a host of services to agencies, including consultation and technical advice on records management; electronic documents; microfilm processing, duplicating and quality control; and off-site storage of documents.
