Keep the knowledge - make a record 

Keep the Knowledge - Make a Record is a package for trainers to assist them to teach State and Local government employees about their recordkeeping responsibilities. It explains what records are, what kinds of records employees should make and keep, and when they can access and dispose of records. 

The training package consists of material for trainers to use when conducting a training session, and material for employees to keep for future reference:

  • guide for trainers

  • presenters notes

  • PowerPoint slideshow

  • evaluation form

  • brochure

  • ready reference sheet 

The training package is available to all Tasmanian government agencies and authorities and local councils. Most of the material can be downloaded as PDF files. These are available from the guide for trainers page.

To make the best use of the package obtain the electronic files by emailing AOT@education.tas.gov.au.  This will enable you to adapt the material to better suit your agency. (Note: the presenter's notes are not available on the web, so you must email us to obtain them.) 

The Archives Office of Tasmania wishes to thank the National Archives of Australia for providing the training package and for permission to customise the materials for use by Tasmanian government organisations.
