Description

This guide is a compilation of key national and international records management standards and best practices available for use in records and information management. It is not all-inclusive. Standards and best practices for specific industry groups, such as the legal profession, real estate, or banking are not included.

Each standard or guideline includes a brief description, usually the published scope or purpose, when available.
