Raleigh, NC—The State Archives of North Carolina is happy to announce the culmination of an innovative years-long project. As of December 2017, state agency officials will have just one 16-part retention and disposition schedule to assist them in the management of their public records: the Functional Schedule for North Carolina State Agencies. This revamped schedule will supersede both the General Schedule for State Agency Records and the program-specific schedules that state agencies have relied on until now.
