Creating Archives
 
Most organizations and communities do not understand how history can meet their needs today. As a result, they fail to appreciate the value of their historical records. At Vantage Point, we work with clients to collect, organize, preserve and retrieve hard-copy and electronic materials that help an organization tell its story. We help records managers differentiate materials that need to be retained for compliance reasons from archival records that can be an ongoing resource to an organization. Most importantly, we show various stakeholders in the organization how the records of the past can add value on a daily basis.
