>>Is there any reason -- legal or otherwise -- which would preclude the
destruction of all paper copies? For instance, are original signatures
needed on contractual documents, etc.?<<
I would make sure you are aware of any special requirements for
requesting authority for disposal of the original documents prior to
destroying them. There are still some federal agencies that require
permission prior to disposal of paper records. The ones that I am aware
of have to do with education grants and research programs but I would
not be surprised if similar requirements did not exist elsewhere.
