Transparency in public administration is possible if citizens are guaranteed access to documents. In this paper we propose a definition of transparency and analyse the Spanish legislation that addresses the right of access to information. Transparency is also more readily achieved if institutions have organized their archives. We propose essential requirements that must meet the legal and records management standards.
