Welcome to the newly named Archives and Records Management Services (ARMS). The old Archives and Records’ name has been changed to emphasise the importance of information management and to better reflect the section’s role as service provider to the University. Soon we will be able to reveal an improved new organisational structure designed to further increase our ability to respond to the University’s archives and records management needs, so these are exciting times for the section! ARMS forms part of Governance Services which is located within the Registrar’s Office. We are responsible for ensuring that the University’s official records are captured and managed in a way that improves business processes and fulfils legislative requirements laid out in the University’s Record Keeping Plan. We also work hard to help staff apply the University’s Information Management Principles to all corporate information.” We provide advice and training to all staff on how to effectively manage both paper and electronic records and on how to operate the University’s official records management system TRIM. We also provide a reference service to the University’s archival holdings, which is open to university staff and the general public. Students seeking copies of their academic transcript or a statement of qualification can do so from the Student Administration website. Members of the public wishing to verify the qualifications/awards of a graduate can do so via UWA's Award Verification Service. | News & EventsDo you use University TRIM files? ARMS have created a new file insert that you may notice appearing inside the front cover of these files. If you’ve ever wondered what to do with all that filing but were not sure if you were doing the right thing, then this file insert should answer many of your questions. If you’d like to see a PDF version of the file insert please click here. Need guidance on how to transfer records of permanent value into the archives? Information is available from our new advice sheet. Please note that new transfer procedures require that a "Records Transfer Form" be completed and submitted with each transfer of records. New!
