					 records constitute the county or municipal archives.

				  office of origin, records may be removed to a county or municipal archives

				  procedures authorized by the County and Local Government Records
				  Committees.

				  its overall responsibility for the protection of public records as provided in

											13001-13006) and

											9001-9010) has not been
					 defined by the courts, it is the position of the Commission that the records
					 are still public property. In regard to the records:
(1) The Commission appreciates and supports
				  the position of those private Commonwealth repositories that want to continue
				  to have physical custody of those records that were transferred prior to the
				  statutes cited in this section, so long as they can demonstrate their ability
				  to maintain minimum standards for archival records.
(2) The Commission will accept local public
				  historical records from those private repositories that feel they cannot
				  adequately care for records accepted in the past by their
				  institutions.
