Chris Flynn -----Original Message----- From: Archives & Archivists [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Christopher Lane Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 12:18 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Retention Schedules and Deaccession Policies for Casino Surveillance Video Hello- I'm a graduate student at UCLA's Moving Image Archive Studies Program and I am currently doing research on retention schedules and deaccession policies as they pertain to surveillance video at casinos (and not just in Las Vegas). I've already got one article called "Condition Critical: Developing Records Retention Schedules" from the Information Management Journal, as well as an article on email retention. These are both great starts, but I'm looking for more readings. Any helpful suggestions on some good articles/book chapters on traditional retention schedules or deaccession policies in archives? This is quite an interesting topic for me since film and video archives traditionally do not have retention schedules or deaccession polices. Any help or leads would be much appreciated.
