The role of the records professional
Research conducted by the InterPARES Trust project has addressed challenges relating to trust in a networked and digital context from a variety of perspectives. This chapter will discuss the role of the records professional in this context. ITrust defines records professional as an individual who is trained in all aspects of managing records and information, including their creation, use, retention, disposition, and preservation, and is familiar with the legal, ethical, fiscal, administrative, and governance contexts of recordkeeping.
