EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> According to G.S. §121-5 and G.S. §132-3,you may only destroy public records with the <br /> consent of the Department of Cultural Resources. This schedule is the primary way DCR gives <br /> its consent. Without approving this schedule,your library is obligated to obtain the <br /> Department's permission to destroy any record, no matter how insignificant. <br /> Each records series listed on this schedule has specific disposition instructions which will <br /> indicate how long that series must be kept in your offices. In some cases, the disposition <br /> instructions are simply"Retain in office permanently,"which means that those records must be <br /> kept in your offices forever. <br /> The Department of Cultural Resources provides microfilming of the minutes of major decision- <br /> making boards and commissions. Once those records are filmed,we will store the silver <br /> negative (the original) in our security vault. <br /> There is a nominal fee for filming and duplicate film. Contact the analyst assigned to your <br /> county for the most current information. <br /> ii <br />
