Strangers in a Strange Land: Archival Opportunities in a Multinational Corporation

---

Abstract

As more American organizations form foreign operations, few possess sufficient knowledge of the international records environment to manage effectively the documents these new operations create. This knowledge gap can have potentially catastrophic consequences. And yet it also provides a unique opportunity for a proactive corporate archivist to significantly enhance the utility of the archives. By globalizing the archives—i.e. participating in an initiative to identify and address a multinational's international records needs—corporate archivists can become a vital component of their organization's international risk management program.
