Appraisal and Records Scheduling

Abstract

When appraising records, we need to understand them correctly. In order to understand such records, we need to consider their meaning in the context of their origin. This paper aims to resolve practical problems of appraisal relating to local government records from the standpoint of archival science. Thereafter, it aims to discuss the introduction of records scheduling and the practicalities involved in that as an effective means of providing solutions.
