Review files annually for files scheduled to be transferred or destroyed.
For files to be transferred to INACTIVE STORAGE: Call the College Archives (x2632) for boxes. (1 full file drawer = 2 boxes)
Place file folders in box - grouped by destruction date
Do not use hanging folders. They don't fit the boxes and are an expensive way to store records. Do put records in labeled folders. Keep the folders upright with labels facing forward. If placing more than one record group in a box, place a marker sheet between the folders.
Label the outside of the box -- in PENCIL -- with:
Office or Department name Record group title and date range Alphabetical, numerical, or chronological range of records Number boxes in sequence Examples: Biology Department [A-L] Box 1 of 2
Business Services Accounts Payable, 1993 Jan-March 1993 Box 1 of 6
Contents list: Prepare a list by individual folder title or groups for each box. The list will be used in retrieving records as needed in the future. The office should keep a copy and send the original with the materials.
Examples: Box List: President's Office - Correspondence, 1990-92 Box 1 A- AR Admissions Alumni Annual Reports Architects
Physical Transfer of Materials: Contact the Archives (x2632) to make arrangements for pick up and delivery.
