Timely advice from the Council of State Archivists, and Kentucky's own Barbara Teague, COSA president and former director of the Public Records Division of the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives.

"Public records created in the course of public business are subject to records management and open records laws and statutes no matter where they are created or stored. Public records created and maintained in a home office, the cloud, or even on social media platforms must follow proper retention and disposition schedules."

Important guidance for public agency officials and employees working remotely. Kentucky's open records law recognizes an "essential relationship" between records access and records management.
