Multi-Institutional Disposition Authorities (MIDA)
Multi-Institutional Disposition Authorities (MIDA) are issued by the National Archivist to provide direction to government institutions subject to the National Archives of Canada Act regarding the disposal of records common to all or a multiple number of government institutions. They are designed to eliminate the need for government institutions to prepare individual submissions for and negotiate agreements with the National Archivist for records which have similar administrative or operational status.
The following downloadable files contain all of the MIDAs as well as other documents prepared by the National Archives - policies, agreements, guidelines, etc. - which have multi-institutional application across government for the disposition of federal government records. |
