Records Management is responsible for establishing standards, procedures and techniques for the effective management of the records of Salt Lake County government. We do this by providing centralized records storage and retrieval, ensure compliance with records law, and provide training and assistance to County agencies.
Participate in MayDay!
On May 1, 2008, the Council of State Archivists (CoSA) will join archives, libraries, museums, and historic preservation organizations across the United States to observe MayDay, a national effort to protect collections from disasters.
We all know that it's easy to put off disaster planning. MayDay asks you to take personal and professional responsibility for doing something simple -- something that can be accomplished in a day but that can have a significant impact on an individual's or a repository's ability to respond.
You might update your Pocket Response Plan (PReP), conduct a drill, invite first responders for a tour, or hold a workshop to inform others about how to prepare for and recover from disasters.
CoSA has many ideas for state and local archives, SHRABs, and repositories throughout your state at http://www.statearchivists.org/prepare/mayday.htm.
And don't forget to tell us what you'll be doing to observe MayDay!
