The South Carolina Electronic Records Guidelines is an adaptation of the Minnesota Electronic Records Guidelines which was produced by the State Archives Department of the Minnesota Historical Society. This endeavor by the South Carolina Department of Archives and History (SCDAH) stems from consultant Timothy Slavin's 1999 report and his recommendations to address challenges confronting the Department with the escalation of electronic recordkeeping throughout state and local government in South Carolina.

The SCDAH acknowledges the support of the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) for providing the grant to develop statewide Electronic Records Guidelines including the TIS Handbook.

The SCDAH would also like to acknowledge and thank Robert Horton, Minnesota State Archivist, for his effort and advice to us.
