Appendix 2: Series Scheduled to be Retained Permanently in the Creating Agency or the State Archives
Program staff identified all Records Disposition Authorizations (RDAs) that scheduled electronic records for permanent retention at the creating agency or at the State Archives. Once the RDAs were identified, program staff contacted the agencies to determine if the electronic records still existed and were in an accessible form. The following table lists the agency and series name, if the complete records series exists as of June 1, 1995, the retention period on the RDA, and the scheduled disposition.
