Record keeping activities are often concentrated on small groups of records, and staff charged with managing them may have limited experience in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecords Management for Museums and Galleries offers a comprehensive overview of records management work within the heritage sector and draws on over a decade of experience in applying fundamental principles and practices to the specific circumstances of museums. It introduces readers to the institutional culture, functions, and records common to museums, and examines the legislative and regulatory environments affecting record-keeping practices. The book is comprised of eight chapters, including: a history of records keeping in the UK museum and gallery sector; the basics of records management; making a business case for records management; requirements of legislation for records management; how to conduct a records survey; strategy and action planning; how to develop a file plan, retention schedule and records management programme; and a guide to useful additional resources.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of figures\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcronyms\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the authors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The history of record keeping in the UK museum and gallery sector\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHistory\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecord keeping in museums: roles\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecord keeping in museums: record types\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Records management basics\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat is a record?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat is records management?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe ‘difference’ between archives and records management\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBasic records management concepts\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Making a business case for records management\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCompile a business case\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe importance of communication\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Legislation and records management requirements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublic Records Acts 1958 and 1967\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLocal government legislation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eData Protection Act 1998\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFreedom of Information Act 2000\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnvironmental Information Regulations 2004\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOther relevant legislation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: The records survey\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbstract\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy conduct a survey?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePre-survey: the importance of planning\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe survey: issues and tips\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePost-survey: analyse, summarise and report\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Strategy and action planning\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy to plan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to plan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to make the plan into a strategy\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlanning for required resources\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Developing a file plan, retention schedule and records management programme\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe file plan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe records retention schedule\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eImplementing a records management programme\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA final word\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Resources\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUK legislation and regulations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpoliation and repatriation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProfessional bodies\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscussion lists\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUseful guidance and training\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStandards\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendices: policies, forms and checklists\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 1: Risk assessment template and scoring framework\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 2: Business case example\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 3: Sample data protection survey form\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4: Museum record series commonly containing personal data\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 5: Sample data protection policies\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 6: Sample data protection statements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 7: Data subject access request form\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 8: Sample records management policy\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 9: Museum record series commonly containing environmental information\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 10: Records survey questionnaire forms\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 11: Supplies checklist template\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 12: Sample records transfer instruction and forms for staff\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Library, archive \u0026amp;
