Records Management Manual


State Government Agencies (Part I - Schedules 1-7 and 9-16): The General Records Schedules have been expanded to include most records which are common to most state government agencies, except higher education agencies.

Higher Education Agencies (Part I - Schedule 8): Schedule 8 is applicable only to higher education agencies and includes all records series common to most higher education agencies.  

Both Manuals: Include general guidelines on technology record keeping formats, i.e. optical disk and e-mail. We also provide instructions for identifying and developing a schedule for your "unique" records. The Introduction, Records Scheduling and Disposal Procedures and Standards, and Part II - Appendices apply to all state and higher education agencies.
