Attended the launch of the Archives & Records Association’s “Don’t Risk It! Know Your Records” campaign yesterday at London Metropolitan Archives. It’s ARA’s first advocacy campaign for records management and has been developed by the Section for Records Management & Information Governance. The campaign aims to increase understanding of the importance of good records management and raise awareness of the risks of not managing records properly. It’s also intended to provide practical help and advice to anyone with records management responsibility by means of a toolkit, which is available on the ARA website – www.archives.org.uk/campaigns/knowyourrecords.html . Look out too for other activities taking place this autumn, including a “Bring the Boss” event in November.
