Georgia Tech Records Management provides guidance to the campus community in matters relating to records retention and destruction. Records Management is responsible for documenting destruction of records that have reached the end of their retention period and provides for the secure destruction of paper files at no cost to the department or unit. Records Management also maintains a Records Center for the long-term storage of physical records throughout their retention period.
The Records Center provides secure long-term storage for campus business and academic records. These records are governed by retention schedules which require retention of the material to be legally or fiscally compliant with laws and regulations. Inactive records which are not frequently consulted should be transferred to the Records Center where they can be stored securely and disposed of appropriately at the end of their retention period.
The Georgia Tech Library promotes Intellectual Property (IP) consciousness on campus and facilitates copyright compliance. Please see below for a host of resources curated by our expert faculty.
