Title: Committee on Radioactive Waste Management: Registered Digital files
Description:

The series comprises a variety of files (in pdf and Word format) recording the work of the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management. These registered files were shared within government and used as references by the committee in their reports. Document types include:

  • Agendas;
  • Minutes;
  • Annual reports;
  • Correspondence;
  • E-bulletins;
  • Guidelines;
  • Reports;
  • Public engagement and consultation papers.

Date: 2000-2018
Arrangement:

The committee registered any valuable document with a number. Only files that were registered are included. This set of records was maintained by the Committee's Secretariat through considerable IT and Machinery of Government changes. A register of these documents was maintained alongside them, and this records the date of the records to good accuracy (almost all within a month). The records were in an Electronic Document and Records Management system (Docshare). They were migrated frequently, but the metadata was maintained.

References for born-digital records are automatically generated and display a 'Z' after a forward slash, which distinguish them from traditional references allocated to paper and digitised records.
