Role of the Records Manager in the final selection of archives

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.

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.
