Abstract
This study investigated circumstances in which archival institutions are supposed to worry about records management modus operandi in creating institutions as the situation will eventually impact their future holdings. The study relied on a literature review to study the situation in which archival institutions are supposed to worry about records management modus operandi. The study discovered that archives appear to be not worried about what is happening to archival records in the creating institutions before records are transferred to archives repositories. Archival records are supposed to be transferred to an archival repository after 20 years from the date of creation, but some government institutions are more than 30 years old without a single record submitted for archiving and still archives do not worry about the situation. The study proposes a framework through which archival institutions may guard against the improper handling of records before transfer to archives repository.
