All,

I am looking for examples of policies/standard operating procedures for the
retention of digitized surrogates of archival collections and/or records.

I have had colleagues at other archives say that they cover digital
surrogates - whether created through preservation reformatting, researcher
requests, or for public access - as having the same retention schedule as
the original record.  I have found some digital preservation and
digitization policies that address this indirectly, but I am looking for
concrete policies.

I've asked this question in a number of venues and gotten no responses.  At
this point I'd also be happy to hear about recognized local practices that
_aren't_ documented.


Thanks!

Leslie
