In this module, we will explore the personal, organisational, and societal benefits of creating, managing, and preserving records, information and data in all forms, and discuss their relevance to contemporary debates on transparency, accountability, privacy and good governance. The module has a practical focus on the information systems, models, policies and processes used in a wide variety of organisations. As a result, you will be able to demonstrate that the transferrable skills learned through the study of history can be used in a wide variety of career contexts: from law, journalism, accountancy and auditing, to politics and human rights, charities and the third sector, civil service and local government, in administration, business (e.g. HR, finance), and in the cultural heritage sector.
