physical records

Physical records refer to tangible documents or items that store information in a format that can be physically handled. This includes paper files, photographs, books, and any other material objects that contain data. These records are often used in various fields, such as history, administration, and research, to preserve important information for future reference. Unlike digital records, physical records require physical space for storage and can be subject to wear and damage over time. Their management involves processes like filing, archiving, and retrieval to ensure that the information remains accessible and organized.
