Abstract

The study was conducted at Medan Regional Archives. The research objective is to examine the records disposition procedure at the Medan Regional Archives. The data collection methods used were observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study show that there are three types of records disposition activities at the Medan Regional Archives. First, inactive records are relocated from the management unit to the archives unit. The records transfer is done once a year by selecting, organizing, and listing the records that will be relocated. Secondly, records destruction is performed once a year on records as listed in the Records Retention Schedule. Total destruction of the records is done by complete shredding. Finally, records transfer from the archives unit to the Regional Archives is done at the latest one year past the retention period. All records disposition activities are conducted according to the Records Retention Schedule. In conclusion, the records disposition activities conducted by the Regional Archives of the City of Medan have been fairly appropriate.
