Records Management

Guide to Records Management for Lone Arrangers (2013)

• Developed by members of the Solo Archivists Section, then known as the Lone Arrangers Roundtable (Nancy Freeman, Holly Geist, Lisa Sjoberg, and Alison Harper Stankrauff)
• With input from the Records Management Roundtable, the committee created the manual to assist "lone arrangers" who are tasked with records management duties.  The guide gives a general description of important components of records management, and resources to learn more about each of the main topics.
