Record filing

Last changed: 02 September 2024

According to the National Archives regulations, universities are responsible for the preservation of public records. This responsibility means, among other things, that universities must take steps to ensure that digital research documents can be presented and remain understandable and reliable throughout the period of their preservation.

Of course, this presupposes that documents are actually kept for record filing and that this is done in accordance with the applicable regulations. Each department or equivalent unit at SLU has its own responsibility for filing records of research material.

Validation of research material vis-a-vis records filing requirements shall be done in consultation with the Archives, Information Management and Registry Unit (AIR) and the departmental registrar. It is the responsibility of researchers/staff performing environmental monitoring and assessment to contact AIR and departmental registrar for validation.
