Records and Archives Week 2008 is now over. It celebrated the importance of records, archives, and the recordkeeping professions.

The theme for 2008 was ‘Protect your Records’.

Everyone keeps records of some sort. Your records might be files, photographs, or plans. They might be emails or videotapes. The thing they have in common is that we would hate to lose them.

Losing family records like photographs can be tragic. Losing business records like contracts can be very expensive. Yet there are simple things you can do to protect your records, and professionals like archivists and records managers can help you to do it.
