Managing Your Records

The Records Management Office (RMO) offers assistance and advice on the management of Harvard University records. The RMO is available to assist in the management of records through all stages of the records lifecycle.

Before records are created
The RMO can help with identifying vital records, preventing disasters, and choosing electronic document management systems.

During a record's active life
The RMO will perform files analyses to suggest improvements to filing schemes, provide advice on formatting and records preservation, train employees to better manage records, and conduct records appraisal and scheduling.

At the end of a record's active life
RMO provides assistance with records storage, archival transfer, and destruction.

Look in this section to find information on preparing records for transfer to the Records Center or Archives.
