Approval for Destruction
• Local Records Committee grants approval in the form of records retention schedules.
• Records retention schedules describe:– Type of records approved for destruction;– Minimum period for which they need to be
retained; and– Which records also have archival value.

What are Archival Records?
• Records determined by the State Archivist as having permanent and enduring historical and/or legal value.
• Typically only 2-5% of records have archival value.
• Listed on Records Retention Schedules.

What do Local Agencies do with Archival Records?
• Archival records must not be destroyed.
• Local Agencies must either:a) Keep the records themselves indefinitely; OR
b) Transfer the records to Washington State Archives (at no cost).

What about Non-Archival Records?
1. Retain for the minimum retention; THEN
2. Destroy.
• Records subject to current public disclosure requests or litigation (current or reasonably anticipated) must not be destroyed.

“Born Digital” Records
• Electronic records must be retained in electronic format … for the length of the designated retention period.
• Printing and retaining a hard copy is not a substitute for the electronic version.

Why Printing Doesn’t Work
• Metadata associated with “born digital” records establishes and preserves the authenticity of the record which is the evidence of the transaction it documents.
• Printing electronic records (e.g. emails) preserves the informational content but not the authenticity of the record.

Digitized Records
• Conversion to an imaging system does not automatically authorize the destruction of the source documents for which images have been created.
• Requires “Destruction After Digitization (DAD)” approval.

Which Schedule do I Use?
Local Government Agencies use both:
1) Local Government Common Records Retention Schedule (CORE);
AND
2) Sector-specific records retention schedules.

Into Practice

Get rid of what you don’t need
• Much of what crosses our desks and our screens has little to no retention value.
• Apply “Records with Minimal Retention Value” (GS50-02) to:– Secondary copies;– Preliminary drafts; and– Informational / transitory material.

Organize to Destroy
• Up to 98% of records are non-archival.
• These records will need to be destroyed someday.
• It is more efficient (and therefore cheaper) to organize now rather than putting it off.

Destroying Non-Archival Records
• Destroy non-archival records at end of their minimum retention period.
• Document destruction of public records:– Work with your Agency’s Records Manager– Sample Destruction Logs available at:

Transfer Archival Records
• If it is archival and don’t need constant access, then consider transferring.
• Best care for records and still accessible.
• Develop a regular transfer cycle for ongoing archival records (such as minutes, ordinances, etc).

In Summary…• Agencies need to:
1. Retain all public records for at least the minimum retention period as listed on the approved Records Retention Schedule.
2. Destroy non-archival records at the end of their retention period.
3. Continue to retain, or transfer to Washington State Archives, all archival records.
