Archival consulting

Records policies often exist on paper but aren't followed in practice. We start by measuring the gap between the rules and daily work, then set priorities your team can realistically carry out.

Teams usually call us when

  • No classification scheme or retention schedule, or one nobody uses
  • Preparing for a records audit
  • Unclear responsibilities between units
  • Vital records not yet identified

Scope

Policy, organization, process, instruments, facilities, people, and security reviewed to set priorities.

Records instruments

Correspondence manuals, classification schemes, retention schedules, and security and access classification.

Vital records programme

Identifying vital information, risk analysis, protection methods, and recovery procedures.

Technical training

Role-based training for creating units, records units, leadership, and system administrators.
