§ 12220 Definition Of Item

• •The word 'item' in this law means lots of things, like papers, books, maps, or old stuff (artifacts).
• •It’s not just those things—it can mean other kinds of records too.
• •This list helps people know what counts as an 'item' when this law is used.

You find an old letter from 100 years ago in your grandma’s attic.

That letter is an 'item' under this law because it’s a paper and a record.
