Abstract
This paper focuses on the role of knowledge records in helping governments to achieve a wiser and fairer society. It presents a view of knowledge records as society’s tools for establishing evidence, protecting human rights, supporting the rule of law, and preserving cultural capital. It also discusses the issues of quality and integrity of knowledge records, and suggests a plausible method to direct the development and implementation of proper knowledge records management systems in government agencies.
