Abstract

Describes the institutional framework for records and archives management in Ghana and emphasizes the lack of awareness of document preservation issues among the staff of government registries, the National Records Centre and the National Archives and among users of public records and archives. Outlines the facilities available for formal and informal staff training in preservation in Ghana and overseas and the need for awareness programmes for public servants and users of the National Archives. Concludes that the lack of preservation training, education and awareness raising among both staff and users are key causes of document deterioration in Ghana and makes recommendations for remedial action by the authorities.
