These procedures provide information and guidance to New South Wales public offices on the requirements and processes involved in making a 'still in use' determination for records over 25 years old which the public office wishes to retain.
These procedures should be read in conjunction with State Records' other publications on procedures for public offices, particularly:
- Procedures for Transferring Custody of Records as State Archives (May 2004), and
- Procedures for Making Access Directions (August 1999).
