How does the definition of durable medium apply to records scanned prior to the adoption of the definition of durable medium?
The definition of durable medium was effective on October 31, 2009. If the process used to scan the records to the electronic media/system meets the definition of durable medium and there are no requirements in existence mandating the records series in question to be maintained on paper or microfilm, agencies have the option to determine the media type(s) on which the record series will be retained.
