Each agency is responsible for the integrity of the records it transfers to MDAH. To ensure that permanently valuable electronic records are preserved, each agency should transfer electronic records to MDAH in accordance with the applicable records control schedule. If the agency is unable to provide proper care and handling of the media, or if the media are becoming obsolete and the agency is unable to migrate the records to newer media, the agency should contact MDAH to arrange for the timely transfer of the records even if the in-house retention period prescribed in the records control schedule has not expired.
