Email Management
According to the Interpretation
Act (RSBC 1996, c.238), the definition
of a "record" covers all recorded information,
including all information stored electronically.
Since email meets this requirement,
the management of all government email must also
comply with existing government legislation,
regulations, policies and standards.
In particular, email must be
classified and disposed of in accordance with
approved records schedules, such as:
- Administrative Records Classification System
(ARCS)
- Agency specific Operational Records Classification
Systems (ORCS)
- Government-wide Special Schedules (Email;
Transitory)
- One-time and ongoing records schedules (ORS)
For more information about managing
your government email, please review our Recommended
Practices and Frequently Asked Questions. You
can also contact your ministry
or corporate
records officer to find out more about email management
specific to your organization.
