Records

Records are structured collections of information that document and preserve data for various purposes, such as legal, historical, or administrative. They can take many forms, including written documents, digital files, audio or video recordings, and images. Records serve as evidence of transactions, events, decisions, or actions, and they are often created and maintained by organizations, governments, or individuals. The management of records includes their creation, storage, retrieval, and disposal, often guided by specific retention policies to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Proper records management is essential for maintaining accountability, facilitating research, and safeguarding important information.
