Samples of Records Types Permanently Stored in the Archives
The Archives accepts records that fall within the fourteen collections that are cataloged or in the process of being developed and cataloged. Therefore, the listings we give are incomplete and subject to revision as we continue to catalog the collection.
The following is a sample listing of the types of records the Archives expects to receive. Records will be accepted on an annual basis based on when a department no longer needs to use the records. The transfer should take place within at least a five year period. Preferably, it would be on a two to three year basis or less.
