Youngstown State University Records Management Mission

In compliance with Section 149.33 of the Ohio Revised Code, Youngstown State University, by the authority of its Board of Trustees, has established a records management program under the jurisdiction of the President’s Office and University Archives & Special Collections for the purpose of insuring proper scheduling, storage and disposal of university records. Records Retention for Public Colleges and Universities in Ohio: A Manual (Inter-University Council of Ohio, 2000) will be used as the basis for Youngstown State University’s records management program. This program is designed to reduce the number of non-current records occupying expensive office space, eliminate unnecessary duplication of records between offices, offer a systematic method of records destruction and create an awareness of documents with a permanent archival value. This blog was created to provide a forum for questions and feedback on our records program. To use this blog effectively, first click and read Records Management: Getting Started, then the complete mission and policy statement. For further information, please contact the University Archives.

Records Management: Getting Started


  • Each department director is the liaison and responsible official for the records within their jurisdiction. They are to contact the University Archives at (330-941-3788) to set up a records training session.

  • Once the schedule is complete it will be reviewed by the University Counsel and Archivist.

  • The Schedule is to be used for the disposition of all records created by your office. A Records Destruction Form must be completed and approval from the University Counsel and Archivist attained prior to the destruction of records.


  • Creation of new Records Series in a office mandates an immediate review and revision of the Records Retention Schedule. Please contact the YSU Archives.
