THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL
Records Management Program	MEMORANDUM	CB#3926, Wilson Library Chapel Hill, NC 27514-8890 (919) 962-6402 FAX: (919) 962-6401

In an attempt to assure that all organizational units at UNC-CH are properly managing their public records, the Records Management Program is undergoing an extensive effort to identify all offices on campus that need to have a records retention and disposition schedule written for their offices.

All organizational units must follow an approved records retention and disposition schedule written for their organizational unit, before the destruction of public records is permitted. In North Carolina, the destruction of public records is regulated.

In the next couple of weeks, the Records Management Program will be contacting departments/programs within the University that does not currently have an approved records retention and disposition schedule written for their area. Administrators will be asked to appoint a Records Management Liaison from each organizational unit who will serve as the primary contact person with the Records Management Program staff in developing a records retention schedule for their area.

A copy of Chancellor Hooker's memorandum dated June 25, 1997 has been provided on the reverse side of this memorandum to show you his support and authorization to implement records management at Carolina.

If you have any questions regarding the scope or purpose of records management at UNC-CH, please contact the Records Management Program at 962-6402.

Reverse side: copy of Chancellor Hookers letter dated 6-25-97
