The following forms and worksheets are used by the State of Michigan, Records Management Services (DTMB) and the Archives of Michigan (DNR).
Record Inventory and Analysis Worksheet: This worksheet is used internally by RMS Records Analysts to conduct an inventory of the records (paper, microfilm, photographic, etc.) that are created and maintained by a government agency. The information collected with this form is used to develop a Retention and Disposal Schedule. RMS completes these worksheets when developing schedules for agencies, local governments that are developing their own agency-specific schedule should use this worksheet to collect the information they need.
Archives of Michigan Direct Records Transmittal (MH-85): This form is used to request the transfer of records with historical value to the Archives of Michigan for permanent preservation. State agencies may also submit this information directly to the Archives using the Versatile computer system.
