Describes the policy and retention schedules for content on the JISC website

web retention policy

This website consists of both live content and items marked as ‘archived’ for non-current content that may still be of some use.

Archived content can be identified by the stamp, ‘This webpage has been archived. Its content will not be updated’, which appears below the page heading.  All links are removed and no further changes will be made to the document.

After a predefined period of time, archived content may be removed from the website.

Regular snapshots of the JISC website are taken by the UK Web Archiving Consortium. Older content that has been removed from the current site may be located at this searchable archive.

Retention schedules

The table below shows the retention schedules operated by JISC for content on its corporate website. Please note, these are minimum review periods. Schedules may be overruled if content is perceived to still have currency or value.
