John,
 
 
There is a range of industry specific requirements, depending on your industry, for the retention of records after imaging. Typically these records are specific to an idividual series. It would be dangerous and/or expensive to express these requirements over a range of series. So if you are reuired to keep gov. contracts for a series one year after imaging, you might not want to apply this uniformly to all gov. contracts.
 
Another issue is the retention of archival records after imaging. personally I think it is terrible idea to destroy permanent records after imaging. THere might be an argument that it is illegal in some applications. Be very careful.
