Record Series and Retention Schedules

Different types of record series and retention schedules

Different types of government agencies have different requirements for reporting record series (groups of records) and maintaining retention schedules (how long to keep the records). Some agencies' record series (including retention information) are documented within State Archives' system, while other agencies maintain their series and retention information independently.

This page links to most types of retention schedules utilized by Utah government agencies, though local agencies may maintain their schedules internally (see Utah Code 63G-2-701).

Look up your agency's record series

Search for your agency by name to view all record series that have been reported to State Archives.

If you don't see your agency, use fewer words or a different combination of words.
If you still don't see your agency, please contact your Records and Information Management specialist.
