Seminar-Workshop on Records Management, Preservation and/or Conservation and Disaster Management

Seminar-Workshop on Records Management, Preservation and/or Conservation and Disaster Management

April 24-26, 2014, Dao Diamond Hotel, Tagbilaran City

Background and Rationale

The documents and records of an institution, school and/or agency are crucial to the conduct of business of that organization. These documents should be organized, indexed/ catalogued and stored for easy retrieval and access of personnel who need the vital information found in these documents in the course of their work and in dealing with the clients. 

Which of the vast number of documents created by an institution have administrative, legal or research value to warrant permanent retention as archives? The establishment of the institutional archives will ensure appropriate and permanent care for records of historical value, in order to make them available for use both now and in the future.

The modules on preservation/conservation and disaster management will give participants the basics on how to preserve these important documents from harm and keep them for years to come.

1. to introduce the basic concepts and principles of records management so that participants will realize the importance of establishing and maintaining a system for managing records;
