General Information about Records Transfer
Records centers are authorized to store, on a reimbursable basis, Federal agency records properly covered by an item in a NARA-approved records disposition schedule or the General Records Schedules (GRS). We may also store records currently unscheduled, if a retention period for them has been formally proposed to NARA. Learn More
