DARM provides basic information on records management procedures for:

Local Records Manual PDF format [309kb]
State Records Manual PDF format [290kb]

These manuals were authored in 1986 and 1994 respectively, updated in 1998, and recently have become obsolete with the adoption of the revised N.J.A.C. 15:3. These manuals will eventually be combined into a single New Jersey Records Managment Manual, but may still be utilized as a basic records management resource. The manuals discuss the following topics:

• Records Management
• Records Storage
• Archives
• Micrographics
• Files Management

• Vital Records Management
• Disaster Recovery
• Forms Management
• Electronic Records
• Managing Sound Recordings
