This record is of long term value and should be preserved. Although the record is microfilmed, a permanent retention for the paper copy is also recommended. Due to the nature of the record, there are times when the microfilm copy is difficult to read or cannot show scale properly. In those instances, the paper copy must be consulted. However, as the microfilm is sufficient for most reference purposes, the paper copy can be stored off-site.
