Sir Rupert Hamer Records Management Awards
The Sir Rupert Hamer Records Management Awards is an initiative of the Public Records Advisory Council (PRAC) which provides advice to PROV and the Minister for Government Services on the administration of the Public Records Act; and promotes cooperation between PROV and government agencies. The Awards, established in 1998, recognise excellence and innovation in records management within the Victorian Public Sector.
Nominations are judged by an independent panel consisting of members from the Public Records Advisory Council, Australian Society of Archivists and the Records and Information Management Practitioners Alliance.
The biennial award ceremony is a prestigious event showcasing projects completed by Victorian government agencies, including local governments, that reflect innovation and dedication to best practice recordkeeping and the preservation of records of permanent value. These records hold much of our personal, corporate, and social memory and document the development of Victoria’s government, culture and economy, as well as our natural and built environments.
