Record Management simply means creation, control and disposal of records. One of the prerequisites of good record management is to ensure that records are neither prematurely destroyed nor kept for a period longer than required. All government records are meant to be appraised after twenty-five years. Consequently two sets of records emerge -Keep (K) and Destroy (D). Only 'K' records are transferred to archives. Archivists, along with the staff member of the record creating agencies, play a vital role in the whole process of appraisal.
