The Records Management team provides guidance and support to faculty and staff to help ensure that Dartmouth electronic records are created, maintained, disseminated, and destroyed in a manner consistent with legal and regulatory requirements, industry standards, and College policies.

What Constitutes an Electronic Record

We define an electronic record as any documentation created, received, maintained and/or stored on on-premise servers and/or in Dartmouth-managed cloud services, regardless of the application used to create that record.
