For those of you that might be interested. You can get a pretty relevant
research paper on this subject as a free download:

RIM Checklist for Mergers, Acquisitions, Divestitures, and Closures-A Study
by John T. Phillips, CRM, FAI. Project underwritten by the Twin Cities
Chapter of ARMA International.

The report download menu is at:

As a brief reflection on the parts of this thread that I have read, I can
say that the report's findings will show there is little in the way of
"standards" regarding dealing with these issues. Companies vary greatly in
what they do, and the Records Manager is often both caught in the middle of
the chaos and responsible for resolving it.
