1. A method for record archive disposition implemented with a computer system comprising one or more computer processors operatively connected to memory, the method comprising: storing in memory archival records, each archival record being associated with at least one archival record metadata attribute; storing in memory at least one or more legal holds, each legal hold having legal hold metadata attributes; generating with at least one of the processors a deletion candidate list for at least one record type by: including on the deletion candidate list archival records identified as having one or more archival record metadata attributes corresponding to the at least one record type; excluding from the deletion candidate list identified archival records if a selected set of legal hold metadata attributes for at least one legal hold corresponds to at least a subset of metadata attributes for the identified archival records; and deleting from memory archival records included on the deletion candidate list.
