Records Manager - Records management, Archive, Information technology

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Records Manager for an organization is the person responsible for the management of records in the organization. This role has evolved over time and takes many forms, with many related areas of knowledge required for professional competency. Records Managers are found in all types of organizations, including business, government, and non-profit sectors. Generally, dedicated (i.e. full time) Records Managers are found in larger organizations. The practice of records management evolved from the development of archives in the United States government following World War II. With the explosion of paper records during that war, better systems of management were needed to retain and make the records available for current use. Records Managers became specialists that bridged the gap between file clerks and archivists. The profession expanded into the corporate world in the 1950s.
