ALGIM Training Session: Disposing of Public Records

This intermediate course is designed for IM Practitioners who are responsible for managing the disposal of information and records within their organisation.

The course explores the principles and practices involved with the disposal of information and records management across both the physical, and digital environments. It also covers the legal requirements relating to disposal in New Zealand, the processes involved in disposal, and how to use the Archives New Zealand General Disposal Authorities (GDAs). It also explores the process to develop and implement your own organisation-specific disposal authority.

The course is divided into four modules of 90 minutes each. Each module is delivered online with its own workbook which is sent out to participants beforehand. There is also a small amount of homework to be done between modules to support learning.
