Hi Andrea,
We categorize this type of material as "Reference Materials" which are
identified as "Published and internal information used for ready
reference". They are kept within the departments themselves and never
stored offsite. The retention period is listed as "review annually and
destroy outdated material".
Once the departments realised that they couldn't send this type of
material offsite, the compliance rate to the retention schedule
skyrocketed. They simply did not have the space to retain this type of
record indefinitely.
