Need help minimizing data retention, mitigating risk, and advising users on what should be saved for the long term (and how)? Harvard University Archives’ Records Management Services (HUA/RMS) has done the heavy lifting by developing a University-mandated policy and procedures to support your efforts.
We offer free 1.5 hour online workshops for Harvard staff that provide tools and advice on how long to keep your systems’ records and data, how to store them most efficiently, and what to do when you (and the data owners) no longer need them. Whether you feel like you’re drowning in information, have concerns about managing/owning PII, or are worried about keeping records too long, or not long enough, our workshops are for you.
Upcoming Workshops
Learn how to implement the OGC-approved General Records Schedule for records and data commonly found across University offices (including IT documentation), manage both physical and electronic formats, and properly dispose of records with due diligence. Our training is designed in parallel with PrivSec and RMAS guidance and standards.
