Advice Sheets

Our advice sheets have been written in an easy to read format and cover a range of information designed to let you know about the service provided by Archives and Records Management Services (ARMS) and what you can do to help in the management of the University's Archives and Records. We also have created a number of helpful TRIM Advice Sheets, as well our new UReKA Advice Sheets.

Please note that the ARMS Advice Sheets are available to UWA staff only.  If you are not a staff member at UWA and would like to view this documentation please feel free to contact susan.gardner@uwa.edu.au or on (08) 6488 8142.
