What is a Records Retention Schedule?

A Records Retention Schedule is a list of each "record series" (type of record) and any electronic records systems maintained by an agency, along with instructions for the retention and disposition of each.

 

A record series is simply a single document (e.g. deeds), or, a group of documents filed and maintained as a unit because they serve a common purpose or function and can be evaluated as a unit for retention purposes (i.e. Personnel File).
