Making records and information management culturally relevant in the Caribbean
The document examines the disconnect between international Records and Information Management (RIM) standards and the cultural and economic realities of the Caribbean. It argues that current systems, often imported from the US, UK, Canada, or Australia, fail to account for informal cultural records—such as oral traditions and calypsos—and are frequently unaffordable or impractical. The author recommends that Caribbean information specialists treat international standards as foundations rather than templates, advocating for the creation of a regional information governance framework and the development of local training and storage solutions to ensure RIM is 'inherently Caribbean'.
