Records Retention Quick Guides

The Records Retention Quick Guides are another resource that may be helpful when looking for guidance about retention periods. The Quick Guides contain the same information as the official Retention Schedules but the information is re-organized into general record type categories.

If your department’s Retention Schedule doesn’t have the record type you’re looking for, you may find it on another department’s schedule by looking for the record type on the appropriate Quick Guide. Because all of the approved Retention Schedules are under the LCC umbrella, you are able to use another unit’s Retention Schedule to fill in a gap that might be present on yours.

NOTE: Notify the Records Information Specialist if you find a gap on your department’s Retention Schedule.
