Retention is applied to ALL public records. A records retention schedule, approved by the State Archives, is your legal authorization to destroy public records. Retention periods can be as short as 1 day or as long as forever (permanent). Retention is determined by the content of the information and not by the medium that it is produced or transmitted in.
