Work

I work at a surgeons office and can't help but notice how working in the file room is a lot like working in an archives.  While I have not worked in an archives, from what I've learned, we do many of the same things as archivists. For instance, a records manager has to keep track of all the laws for records. We have to follow laws about charts. We know that we are allowed to shred charts after ten years. Like archives, we have to go through documents and put them in an order. As I've been taking my archives class, I can't help but think of things we do and can do for our records. Public History is around everyone every day. You just have to know where to look.
