Margaret’s PhD research focussed on the extent of recordkeeping as a profession. This paper reports on the overall findings of the research.
Margaret comes to the field of records and information management after 12 years experience as a secondary school teacher. An interest in archives motivated a return to university in the 1980s. Since then Margaret has worked in the records, archives and library environment in Australia, the UK, Singapore and Fiji. Research interests include information disaster planning and risk management, information as a corporate resource or asset, the professionalisation of recordkeeping, and professional development and continuing education for records and information professionals.
