Recordkeeping

Our recordkeeping role

Since 1903, the Archives of Ontario have been the official recordkeepers of the Government of Ontario, including its ministries, agencies and the wider public sector.

Part of our role is helping public bodies meet their recordkeeping responsibilities as set out in the Archives and Recordkeeping Act (2006).

Consult this list to learn if you serve a public body that is subject to the act.

Our Recordkeeping, Access and Privacy Advisory Services unit provides guidance and tools to help public servants:

• prepare new schedules
• amend existing schedules
• get archivist approval of a schedule
• adhere to your record schedule
