OK. I imagine NYS has similar statutes.
And I fubar’d of sorts, because I used to read microfiche from IBM with the viewers, and in fact it does not come on reels (maybe some forms do) but the stuff I dealt with was like 4X6 inch transparencies that resembled photo negatives.
I am sure that is what Hawaii used up to 1981. But according to Okubo, all records were transferred to electronic format in 1981. So if they destroyed the microfiche copies, they had to be converted - intact - to an electronic form per Hawaii statutes.
