General Schedule for Your Input
As part of the General Schedule Update Project, the Utah State Archives is proposing six new schedules for your consideration. We would like these to be submitted to the State Records Committee’s June 11th meeting. Remember, there is no designation or classification of general schedules because that needs to be determined by the record series.
