Electronic records management in Australia

Abstract

Australia's approach to electronic records in the 1990s has been characterised by strategic approaches which seek to put in place frameworks for recordkeeping in which there is room for collaboration and experimentation in approaches. In doing so, existing paper paradigms relating to records have been reconceptualised in order to define different ways of achieving our goals of reliable and authentic evidence of business activity. This paper explores the variety of strategic recordkeeping initiatives in the context of Australian records management practice.
