INTRODUCTION
Preservation is essential to records management in order to prevent information loss due to the deterioration of the records media. Roper [1999:37] says, 'Preservation planning is essential to good records and archives management. It is better to focus on preventative preservation measures and ensure adequate environmental and physical controls than to focus on conservation treatments for one object to the exclusion of others in the institution. Preservation policies and plans need to be coordinated with other organizational requirements. ' In this article the author is going to discuss the components that are critically important in the implementation of an effective preservation planning of an archive institution.

ARTICLE BODY

Integrated Records Management

By -
In an endeavor to make records accessible to both the government and to citizens, researchers and records professionals recommend an integrated records management program. In this paper the author is going to examine the rationale for developing an integrated records management program. An integrated records management program according to Millar[1999:20] '...recognizes that records follow a life-cycle and acknowledges the importance of caring for those records through a continuum of concept.' The Australian Standard 4390 as quoted from www.findarticles.com defines a records continuum as '...a consistent and coherent regime of management processes from the time of their creation of records...through to the preservation and use of records as archives.' This definition suggests an ideal integration for documents, records, and archives management. The continuum concept seeks to break the barrier between records managers and archivists and bring them togethe...
