a~ <br />of superior courts office and the sheriff office. In the retention and disposition schedule for the clerk <br />of superior courts office, the disposition instruction for the records in question is transfer to the State <br />Archives for permanent preservation. The sheriffs records according to the current retention and <br />disposition could have been destroyed by the originating agency. However, it is my determination <br />that these record, due to their historical significance, should be transferred to the State Archives. It <br />should also be noted that since the records in question are not currently in the possession of the <br />originating agency, our agency, through a written letter of consent, would authorize the transfer of <br />these records to the State Archives. Also, it is our determination that the above mentioned public <br />records should either be transferred to the State Archives (preferred) for permanent preservation or <br />returned to the originating agency for proper disposition. <br />Hopefully, the above descriptions of the relevant statutes have provided the necessary clarification. If <br />you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Please also note that I have <br />attached the relevant citations. <br />Sincerely, <br />Becky McGee-Lankford <br />Head, Local Records Unit <br />Government Records Branch <br />MAILING ADDRESS: Telephone (919) 807-7350 LOCATION: <br />4615 Mail Service Center Facsimile (919) 715-3627 215 N.
