Records Management and Local Government in the United Kingdom: The Way Forward?

Abstract

In the six months that I have lived and worked in Western Australia I have been forcibly struck by the differences and the similarities in records management here in comparison with the United Kingdom. It is inevitable, although not desirable, to go through this process of comparison. When I chose to emigrate I attempted to maintain an open mind about my new life and the working environment I was likely to encounter. I have been pleasantly surprised to discover that my experiences and perceptions of records management are generally in accord with those of Western Australian colleagues, despite differences in background and situation.
