March is Archiving Month— a time to celebrate the importance of preserving historical information, documents, and artifacts for future generations.

Archiving plays a crucial role in not only preserving history, but also in ensuring that organizations are able to access and utilize their own historical records and information. This is especially important in the digital age, where information can easily become lost or inaccessible.

In this webinar, we discuss the differences and overlaps between archivists, records managers, and data professionals, as well as explore:

  • The importance of archiving and its relationship to records management and data retention
  • How information professionals can work together to ensure that organizations are able to effectively manage their historical records and information
  • The challenges and opportunities facing these professions in today's digital age
  • The importance of digital preservation and the need for collaboration between these fields to effectively manage electronic records


By highlighting the importance of archiving and its relationship to records management and data retention, we hope to raise awareness about the crucial role these professions play in managing and preserving information for the future.
