Schools Records Management Program

Schools that participate in the program receive:

• assistance from specialist archivists and support staff to organise school records
• collection, digitisation and transfer of historic records to the State Archives
• support to dispose of time-expired records.

Places in the program are limited. Contact the Records and Digitisation Services team for information on participating in the program.
