Preservation of Public Records and Archives in Swaziland Government

The study investigates preservation of public records and archives in Swaziland Government Ministries and the Department of Swaziland National Archives. The proper preservation of public records ensures continued access to a nation¿s documentary heritage. If public records are not properly preserved, efficiency in government is compromised. This results to poor-decision making, increased fraudulent behaviour and unguided development of operational policies.Failure to implement proper records preservation initiatives in Swaziland government ministries headquarters has resulted in many valuable public records not finding their way to the Department of Swaziland National Archives (SNA).
