Why is it important?

Many books exist on the matter, but what people need nowadays is a practical approach with simple steps to implement. This book proposes 16 clear steps, local examples and procedures. "RM for dummies" could be its subtitle.

Perspectives

This local manual created by the Association Vaudoise des Archivistes has gained an international interest because of its practical aspect. Translations are being prepared to answer a broader demand (already existing in Hebrew).
