Guidelines for Data to be Archived

This guideline concerns information to be stored in the Chapter Archives. Data are organized by functional Board areas (so this memo doesn't have to be re-written every time the Board re-organizes!); therefore, review all categories that apply to your particular Board position (including subcommittees).

Please accumulate, annotate, and organize, as appropriate, the data prior to archiving. Coordinate with the Historian the submittal to, and the removal from, Archives, in order for a current inventory list to be maintained.

Although information may be submitted to the Historian for archiving at any time, it is recommended that information be accumulated and that logical groups of data be archived at one time. Suggested submittal dates include the end of the Board year (i.e., May), the end of the Calendar year (i.e., December), or whenever is appropriate for the submitted data.

Note that this is intended as a guide only.
