The IG-Archives and Records Professionals for Research Data (IG-ARP) was formed in 2015 with the intent of exploring the areas where the principles and practices in the information disciplines of archives, records management, and research data curation overlap and where they diverge.
The group has been in maintenance mode since P10 (2017).  The primary goal of this session will be to gauge interest in revitalizing the group, to identify one or two additional new co-chairs, and to determine future activities.  We will include presentations on topics relevant to the community to spark discussion and highlight the role of archives and records professionals within the data community.

Brief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group
Archives and records professionals serve in a range of critical roles: as experts in ensuring access, preservation, and reuse of records and archival collections; as provocateurs for good records curation practices; and as advocates for the construction of sustainable infrastructures for information sharing.
The objective of this group is to provide a welcoming space for archivists and records management professionals within RDA to share knowledge and explore issues related to research data that arise in their professional activities.  We explore the areas where the principles and practices in the information disciplines of archives, records management, and research data curation overlap and where they diverge.  Examining alignments in theoretical frameworks, practical implementations, and goals among these information disciplines, we determine areas where practitioners across them can learn from each other in ways that can lead to the development of a vibrant community of information professionals working across different domains.
We are determined to ensure that the large body of existing knowledge from the archives and records management spheres, much of which is pertinent to practical applications of research data management, including making and keeping data FAIR, has a presence within the RDA landscape.
