Details

After analyzing and identifying the records management needs of a unit, the implementation of recommendations may include the following steps: weeding of the active documents, personnel training, records inventory and temporary identification of classification codes, validation and other technical operations (physical folders labelling and reorganization of physical records, etc.). The McGill University Archives will customize the Classification Plan to the unit’s needs and provide ongoing support.
