Delivering paper data - public data
One of the main tasks of the National Archives of Iceland is to receive paper documents from the parties that are required to deliver them for preservation. According to the laws on public archives, paper documents that are required to be delivered to a public archives must be delivered to the National Archives when they have reached the age of 30 years. If paper documents that are under 30 years old are delivered to the National Archives, the museum charges for their preservation until they have reached the age of 30 according to the tariff. Municipalities always pay for the preservation of paper documents in the National Archives according to the tariff.
The registration and completion of paper archives is an important factor and a decisive factor for access to documents once they are in the National Archives. It must be clear which categories of documents the library is divided into to allow the start of registration and completion of preservation. The completion involves in particular the ordering and completion of the archive and the archives, as well as the registration of the storage records.
The completion of the paper archives must be according to the rules on completion, registration and delivery of paper documents of the parties required to deliver and the instructions of the National Archives and must be completed in full when documents are delivered unless otherwise agreed separately.
The National Archives of Iceland has published two guidebooks for the delivery of documents, which discuss the processing, registration and delivery of paper documents. The guidebooks are an important supporting material when it comes to the delivery of paper documents to the National Archives of Iceland.
