Storing

5.2 Storage of Semi-Current Records

Records with short retention periods are usually placed in temporary storage areas prior to disposal, while records with longer retention periods are placed in long-term storage areas. Records that require long term storage, including records that have permanent retention periods of historic value, may be segregated, or even transferred to a secured storage facility such as the State Records Repository of Pustaka Negeri Sarawak. .

Records of historical, archival, public importance and research value may then be made available for research by designated officers of the creating agencies. In any situation where records with long retention periods are at stake, special storage spaces and special precautionary measures to insure their preservation shall be taken. The staff at Pustaka Negeri Sarawak in consultation with the originating agencies shall then implement the best possible ways.
