Abstract
This study tackles the disposition of electronic mail (email) records in public departments in Zimbabwe. The study established that there were no clearly laidout guidelines on e-mail records management in Zimbabwe and this has resulted in public officers using their own discretion in disposing such records. This study used a survey research design and collected data using questionnaires and observation. Twenty-two public records officers were selected for the study using simple random sampling. The study recommends e-mail records management skills development and the crafting and adoption of an e-mail legislative, policy and procedural framework by the National Archives of Zimbabwe for use by public departments.
