The list won't carry attachments I am afraid! Fab/Bendigedig to see a 1st edition of some of the then SOA guidance from the 1980s popping up- we have the 1988 2nd edition of the volume on social services...and I believe Henry has that and another one from the second run.

Here's an extract from the Children's category: [cid:image001.png@01D2CA6C.190396B0] So as you can see some the retention periods do differ considerably to today's. From: The Information and Records Management Society mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Henry Sullivan Sent: 05 May 2017 15:10 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> 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.
