Where did you file that important document? You know, the one that if lost, a great deal of time and effort (and money) will be required to recreate it?
Regardless of what is contained in that file, or on that piece of paper, CD, or microfiche, records crucial to the conducting of business or recovery from some sort of disaster are called essential or vital records. Extra care must be taken to ensure vital records are accessible in times of need.
Brush up on your knowledge of vital records by downloading a short powerpoint training session called Protecting Your Vital Records or by reviewing Managing Your Vital Records below.
