Thanks Katharine. What were they saying at that time in terms of retention and disposition?

Hi
I wrote my MSc Records Management dissertation on this and identified the 1877 Public Records Act as the first time retention schedule requirements arose (although not called retention schedules). I also identified some earlier examples. Happy to share a copy with Henry and anyone else (although may be more detail than you were after!). Otherwise I'd suggest looking at a copy of the Act directly.
Kind regards
Katharine

This is a really good question- and one that is relevant to a good number of us in the context of the SCAI
I have put some feelers out around the more, how can I put it, senior end of the profession.
In a particularly Scottish public sector context, I wonder if Iain (Flett), who I know takes this list, could enlighten us a little on the appearance and development of schedules.
Regards
Meic

Subject: Origin of the humble records retention schedule
Afternoon all – a Friday afternoon question for you; can anyone give me an origin for the humble Records Retention Schedule / Policy as a concept?
I have a hunch it is a creature of the 1970’s (possibly the 1960’s) but I could be wrong. I have both Googled and checked our limited library of professional literature here in our office to no avail.
The question has a serious purpose in that I am having to justify the retention of records from 1930 through to 2014 as part of the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry and it would be nice to point out that standardised retention based on function and activity is a relatively recent development.
Yours in sincere hope of a good response,
Henry
