  1. Session 2: The Life Cycle of Records

  2. The Life Cycle of Records

  3. Objectives • Define and identify record series • Discuss the general schedules, including the GS1-SL for State and Local Government Agencies • Identify which record schedules to use in determining retention requirements • Discuss disposition methods and documentation requirements

  4. Records Inventory • Locate and evaluate records • Identify records eligible for disposition • Evaluate storage needs • Identify vital and electronic records

  5. Records Inventory • Record series title • Description • Describe the content, nature, and purpose of the records, • List types of documents and formats that are included • List any laws or rules regulating creation/retention • Inclusive dates • Types of formats • Identifying vital records • Physical location • Volume in cubic feet • Retention requirements • Record copy or duplicate

  6. Record Copy vs. Duplicate “Record (Master) Copy” means public records specifically designated by the custodial as the official record. Rule 1B-24.001(3)(i), F.A.C. • Determine who maintains the record copy • Not necessarily the original paper record • Can be microfilm, scanned image, or copy

  7. Record Copy vs. Duplicate “Duplicate Records” means reproductions of record (master) copies, prepared simultaneously or separately, which are designated as not being the official copy. Rule 1B-24.001(3)(j), F.A.C. • Duplicates may be disposed of without documentation except for records that have been microfilmed or scanned in accordance with Rule 6B-26, F.A.C., where the microfilm or electronic version will serve as the record copy. • If only duplicate exists, duplicate becomes record copy.

  8. Retention Schedules Two Types of Retention Schedules: • General Schedules • Cover most administrative records • Arranged alphabetically by Record Series Title • Most current version available on our Web Site • Individual Schedules • Applicable to program specific records of a particular agency • Series descriptions clearly indicate the program/activity that the records relate to • An agency may not use another agency’s individual schedules

  9. Retention Requirements “Records Retention Schedule” means a standard approved by the Division for the agency’s orderly retention, transfer, or disposition of public records… Rule 1B-24.001(3)(l), F.A.C. • Value of Records • Legal • Fiscal • Administrative • Historical
