For South Carolina State Institutions, such as Lander University, Records Management ensures that administrative and academic records are maintained and destroyed in accordance with the South Carolina Public Records Act of 1973, as amended in 1990. All government agencies in South Carolina are required by law to maintain a records management program in compliance with S.C. Department of Archives and History guidelines.
