Despite our constant use of the Internet to create e-records by using Web sites, I am still amazed at how many ways the records creation process is subverted or undermined
I was always taught that correspondence is not a separate records series because it’s always about something, or is part of a process related to records creation. However, all of this seems to fall apart when it comes to email management.
In contrast to situations in which a retention period is satisfied a certain number of years from records creation, “triggering event” based retention periods require maintaining records for a specified period of time after a defined event occurs
