National Archival Appraisal Board

The National Archival Appraisal Board is a committee responsible for evaluating and determining the historical, cultural, or administrative importance of government records and documents. Its role is to identify which records should be preserved permanently for historical and research purposes, and which can be safely disposed of. By doing so, the board helps ensure that valuable information is retained for future generations while managing storage and maintaining efficient administrative processes. Essentially, it helps balance the preservation of important records with the need to manage ongoing record-keeping effectively.
