Archiving content on nsw.gov.au
Retiring and unpublishing content is a critical part of the content lifecycle.
OneCX responsibilities
The nsw.gov.au team retains an administrative record, including times and dates, of when content was published and unpublished on nsw.gov.au. This record is held within the nsw.gov.au CMS for a period of 2 years.
Agency responsibilities
Agencies, as content owners, are responsible for the information published on nsw.gov.au for records management purposes.
Agencies must manage records, information and data as per the State Records Act 1998, retention and disposal authorities and their organisation’s records and information management policies.
When content is ready to be decommissioned, agencies should refer to their records management team for guidance on:
- how long the website content needs to be retained for
- the best format for recordkeeping
- where to save the website content in the agency’s records management system, such as TRIM or Objective.
Archiving your website
Once migration of content to nsw.gov.au is complete, agencies must follow relevant record keeping requirements when archiving content or decommissioning its website.
