Legacy Electronic Records Handling

This guidance is intended for any member of University staff who has a sizeable collection of old electronic records, such as tens of thousands of e-mails or records stored on a shared or personal drive, on tapes, CDs, floppy disks, optical drives or the EUCS archive system. It is a practical step-by-step guide to how to clear out these records, including shortcuts and issues to consider when deciding whether or not to throw the records away.

The guidance sheets are available as rich text documents, Excel and Adobe PDF.  If you do not already have an Adobe Acrobat reader you can download one free from the Adobe web site.
