Posted on behalf of David Duncan, Associate Director, Corporate Policy and
Standards, Archives of Ontario

On April 1, 2005, the Archives of Ontario was pleased to welcome a number of
new staff responsible for records management operations and consulting
services.  While the Archives of Ontario has always had responsibility for
establishing records management policies and standards for the Ontario
Public Service, the operational component (file plan development,
schedule-writing, and day-to-day support) has for the last five years been
handled through Information Management Solutions, a unit within Ontario
Shared Services (OSS).

The transfer of the IMS unit to the Archives of Ontario was made so that the
Ontario Public Service (OPS) can improve its records management systems and
provide a more coordinated approach to these services.  A project is now
underway to revitalize and improve records management across the OPS, and
this transfer is an important step in that process.
