Role of the Records Manager in the final selection of archives Stephanie Ferrer Blanco

The records manager and the archive each play a role in the transition from document to archive. The records manager finds his place in the constitution of the definitive archives thanks to his knowledge of the production context, which helps the archives to build a collection for research. The stage of qualitative selection of files is an example of this complementarity that improves information retrieval. By applying documentary and archival skills, the records manager contributes to the improvement of the quality of the funds collected. It is by having an overall vision of the destination of the documents, by knowing what the archives expect from him, that the records manager is best able to carry out an archiving policy in which the constitution of the definitive archives will be integrated.
