I suggest using whatever term or terms will make a future request of
those files as quick and easy as possible. I'd probably include the
terminology used by the record creator plus appropriate RM terms.

Subject: I need a word...

I would like to ask for the collective wisdom of the list to help me
find a
descriptive word for a records management concept.

 

What would you call a group of closed files in a records series that are
ready to be - or are being - stored together for their prescribed
retention
period?

 

For instance, a records custodian sends you, the Records Manager, a
transmittal form for approval that says he/she has 8 boxes of closed
FY06
Inspection Records to ship to the commercial or company-owned records
storage facility for retention.  What term do you use to refer to that
group
of 8 boxes?
