Dear All,
I am after some help. When you send records away to be scanned and digitised, do you have a clause in your contract for the return of the original records?
My concern is that without a contract for their return, a public sector organisation could be in breach of the Public Records Act as some records are public records. Even if they are digitised for business use, they will still need to be available as public records.
I would be grateful if anyone would share the approach, including contract clauses, they have for ensuring (or deciding whether) the records are returned after they are digitised.
Any help or advice on this area would be appreciated.
Thanks
Lawrence
