Records retention schedules identify and describe an organization's records, usually at the series level, and provide instructions for the destruction or transfer of records throughout their life cycle. These schedules (called General Schedules) are maintained by the Library of Virginia and are divided into broad categories including: 

• Administrative records 
• College and university records 
• Fiscal records 
• Personnel records 

The Library of Virginia has added a database that allows you to search across the various General Schedules.
