*<<I also wonder – do the archives include more current records and not

*Good point, Ginny *

I wondered if they create digital records that must be stored for the
long-term and how they see those being managed--eventually outsourced to a
non-profit?  Can they do that with public records--I guess so?

My second thought is -- what a great way to get around a Public Records
Request.  This is #6 from the City's Law Department's procedures for
obtaining Public Records (https://www.providenceri.com/law/apra-request)

The City of Providence is not obligated to produce for inspection or
copying records that are not in the possession of the City of Providence.
Moreover, the City of Providence is not required to reorganize,
consolidate, or compile data that is not maintained by the City of
Providence in the form requested.
