I believe the answer is:

ephemera

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'transient matters that man initially managed in record' is the first definition.
'ephemera' can be an answer for 'transient matters' (ephemeral or transient things). I'm not certain of the rest of the definition.

'time' is the second definition.
(I know that ephemera is a type of time)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ephemera that I've seen before include "Flyer" , "items not lasting long?" , "Temporary matter" , "They're soon over" , "Things lasting only briefly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
