A good place to start is NSW State Records Disposal Authority GA36 ( http://tinyurl.com/yazyyrj) which sets out protocols saying, amongst others, yes, you can destroy originals once you've done your QA, and once you've got procedures which help guarantee the integrity of the image, and provided that the scanned document is not in the very small group of documents required by State Archives for persistent retention (see other thread on 'permanent'). I know NSW is geographically and legally a long way from you lot down there in the northern hemisphere but the thinking is what's important.
