You, your department, or office, must store records in a location that is known, secure, and stable for the length of time indicated in the General Retention Schedule. Records Management provides off-site storage for Dartmouth's paper records at the Library Collections and Services Facility. 

Secure off-site storage allows you to reclaim office space and recall inactive records on demand.

RMS Online provides access to a user's catalog of stored records with the ability to:

• Search and Request Records
• Return Checked Out Records
• Request Empty Boxes
• Transfer New Records for Storage 

Records Management makes one delivery run each day. Any requests made before 3:00pm will be delivered the next business day. Requests made after 3:00pm will be delivered in two business days.

Until further notice, we only schedule deliveries on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday due to a staffing crunch. This means: 

• Records requested on Friday will arrive on Monday.
• Records requested on Monday will arrive on Wednesday.
• Records that are requested on Wednesday will arrive on Friday.

If you have an urgent need for records to be delivered on a Tuesday or Thursday, we will do our best to accommodate such requests.
