Greetings all School Archivists,
The Vic School Archives SIG held an information session yesterday (Wed 23 August) with Judith Ellis about the review of the ASA's Records Retention and Disposal Schedule for Non-Government Schools.
Judith will be visiting other states for similar sessions soon.
Below are some links to references that Judith referred to in her presentation that you might find useful.

I can't wait to have a look at the final schedule. It must have been a massive job!
