Meeting title:

IG Archives and Records Professionals for Research Data

A short introduction describing the activities and the 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. 

This group provides a platform for records professionals involved in research data management to discuss and address relevant issues, as well as seeking ways that archival and records management skills can contribute to the development of research data management practice.

We encourage archivists, records professionals, and other information professionals to attend, along with any RDA member with an interest in learning about how records professionals can contribute to research data management.
