DOMAINS
Domains are areas of public interest or concern and are sometimes referred to as "areas of accountability." Several discrete activities may be carried out by two or more public agencies to address a domain. Recognizing the various activities surrounding a domain, and how they are related, is a key component of records and information management.
Note about Domains: Domains are generally added to the Archives' database when the Archives has been asked to appraise records. The list below is not a comprehensive list of domains.
