Sentencing
Deciding whether to keep, destroy or transfer
Sentencing is the process of using a records authority or general records authority to decide whether to retain, destroy or transfer a record.
The National Archives publication Sentencing (pdf, 172kb) will help you plan and complete a sentencing project.
Once you have sentenced records, you should also look at the information on this website about transferring records and compliant destruction of Australian Government records.
