Records and Information Management (RIM) Program, Public Archives and Records Office

Records and Information Management (RIM) is the systematic control of all recorded information regardless of format from creation to final disposition. Effective records management ensures:

• decision making is supported,
• costs are reduced,
• the organization meets business, legal, and accountability requirements, and
• appropriate disposition of material.

What does the Public Archives RIM unit do?

• provides organization-wide RIM services and support to the Government of PEI;
• audits and monitors the development and maintenance of RIM programs in government public bodies;
• provides training opportunities to government public body staff through consultations and workshops; and
