Hello all,

I was asked to pull together some retention schedules and policies for a small-medium sized museum archive setting – I know much about more historical society/state government records retention schedules, but I’m not sure for museum archives if the retention schedules would be solely based on legal matters/deed of gifts etc. or if institutions have established schedules. 

I am not sure exactly what type of materials and records the person requesting the information was considering.

Thank you for any assistance, please feel free to email me off-list.

Have a good Wednesday.

Kelly
