Wilma:
ANSI/ARMA 5 is the standard for establishing a vital records program.
Using a national standard is also good ammo for "selling" the need for
doing things the right way. You can purchase it from ARMA.

Hello All,
This is my second time posting to the listserv. The first time I got my
hands smacked by 'he that shall remain nameless' because I did not
introduce myself.
Introduction:
My name is Wilma Lucente. I work at PPL Services Inc. During my hand
smacking, I was told to spell out acronyms (PPL) so people would know
what kind of company that represents. Well "PPL" is not an acronym. It
is a public utility company in the east. PPL represents our 'brand'. I
began my foray on records management in 1982 and worked my way to CRM. I
figured, I have been doing it so long, might as well collect some more
acronyms.
Issue
We use to have a very active records department. The manager retired
last year and now I live in IT land. And we all know IT knows everything
about everything concerning records (hmmmm). Someone has been assigned
by the Director the task of developing a vital records program. I am not
beginning consulted. I just recently saw the project plan and they plan
on having all the workings in place by May of this year (stop laughing).
And the other fish in the pond is somehow the Director has linked vital
records with our records center. He wants to put all the folders into
metal boxes (you are still laughing). There are over 20 thousand boxes.
Anyway, I ran into him in the hall the other day and volunteered to
educate him about vital records. He agreed. The reason I'm coming to the
listserv is because I'm tired of spitting into the wind, even though
that is a records management function, I was wondering if anyone has a
vital records program and what it took to get there and still moving. Or
if anyone wants to chime in with vast amount of their knowledge I would
like to use this info and pass it to him....since I don't know what I am
talking about!!
Thanks
