The following forms are used to facilitate interaction between the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office (TAHO) and Tasmanian state and local government organisations to gain the authorisation of the State Archivist for the destruction or transfer of state records.
Note: Before completing the above forms, employees should be familiar with the TAHO disposal procedures.
This application is to be completed when transferring scheduled records to TAHO and when making recommendations for the disposal of unscheduled records. Instructions for completing the application are contained within the workbook in a worksheet titled 'Instructions'.
This is a template for the layout of a standard TAHO disposal schedule which can be used by agencies for the initial development of a draft schedule for submission to TAHO.
Central to the accountability process built into the disposal schedules is the requirement that agencies maintain a "Register of Records Destroyed". The register should not be used to list unscheduled records as these will be covered by a destruction Authority issued by the State Archivist. The Register must be clearly identified as the Register of Records Destroyed (under Section 20(2)(b) of the Archives Act 1983) and should include the name of the agency.
