A reliable reflection? : Challenges when documenting physical infrastructure
(2021) In Records Management Journal 31(2). p.134-157- Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study how the agency is working to improve their recordkeeping, by taking a closer look at two new positions that now coordinate the delivery of documentation from the building process teams to the agency. What is their role and what challenges do they face with regard to creating, sharing and preserving records with other areas across the TRA? The study’s purpose... (More)
