Greetings,

My museum has never followed any records management policies, despite
the government entity we fall under having a firm records management
policy in place.  How should I classify our guest books, and should
those be permanently retained?  The guest books from the founding
decade were proper books, but lately they are just printer paper
sheets with grids for visitors to fill out.

The policy that we are supposed to follow is the state records
retention policy for New Mexico.  The closest equivalent I can find is
"Patron Management", which has a five-year retention requirement.
Should I classify our guest books as that?  What is the general museum
approach to retaining or destroying old guest books?

Thank you,

Michael R.
