Art. 6 Establishment of archival value
(Arts. 7 and 8 ArchA) 1 The Federal Archives shall decide whether documents should be permanently archived, taking account of the suggestions of the body required to offer its documents to it. It shall assess the documents offered using historical and archival criteria. 2 If the Federal Archives and the body obliged to offer its documents disagree on the archival value of documents, they shall be archived. 3 The Federal Archives shall co-operate with the independent archiving bodies to decide whether such documents are of archival value. 4 The Federal Archives shall assess the archival value of the documents offered within a period of one year. If it fails to reach a decision, the archiving obligation shall lapse. Such period may be extended if the Federal Archives demonstrates that it cannot assess the documents in time. |
