ABOUT ARMAG
Welcome to the Archivists and Records managers Association of Ghana (ARMAG). ARMAG was formed in the year 2016 at the University of Ghana by a core group of seasoned professionals and Lecturers from the Department of Information Studies at the University of Ghana. The core goal of the association is to promote good records management practices and good governance. To achieve this, the association has been consistent in developing training courses and seminars to help its members update their skills so they can be the advocates of good records and good governance in their institutions. The association has about 200 members spanning across a spectrum of practicing professionals, the Academia, students, and Organizations.

ARMAG NEWSLETTER
Editor’s Note
It is my pleasure to introduce ARMAG’s maiden newsletter. It is the editorial committee’s hope that the newsletter will be a vehicle for sharing, information and inspiration for colleagues so we urge everyone to make this newsletter their own by contributing to its various sections.
In this inaugural issue we have two articles that discuss the lessons we can learn from other records and archives contexts. While ARMAG vice-president Isaac Armstrong’s article focuses on what Ghana can glean from the United States’ National Records and Archives Agency’s M-19-21 policy for its RTI implementation, former president of ARANZ, Eric Boamah discusses what we can learn from our colleagues and sister association in New Zealand. University of Winneba Archivist Baaba Bonuedie reflects on how her professional experiences have demonstrated the intersection of archives, records and information management.
In future, we plan for the Spotlight section to feature one archival repository’s collections and activities. In our first Spotlight section, however, we introduce five archival institutions which were featured in our inaugural Archives Month celebration.
