Agency: Administrative Services

Line Item: State Archives

Function

The Utah State Archives is the repository for official records of the state and its political subdivisions. The division serves state government and the public by managing records created by the legislative, judicial, and executive branches. Records created by government agencies are divided into record series, or documents of like purpose, that reflect the various functions of the agency.

The Division of Archives is the official custodian of all non-current public records of permanent value that are not required by law to remain in the custody of the agency of origin. The State Archives building contains the administrative offices, archival records, and research room. The State Records Center warehouses governmental records for all state and local agencies.

The 2007 Legislature approved House Bill 222, Open and Public Meetings - Electronic Notice, which created the Utah Public Notice Website and required the division to maintain and operate the program. The website will contain notices of public meetings for the state and its political subdivisions.

Statutory Authority

UCA 63-2-901 defines the duties of the Division of Archives and Records Service:

  • Administer the state's archives and records management programs, including storage of records, central microphotography programs, and quality control
  • Apply fair, efficient, and economical management methods.
  • Establish standards, procedures, and techniques for best management of records
  • Conduct surveys of office operations and recommend improvements in current records management practices
  • Establish schedules for storing and disposing of records
  • Establish, maintain, and operate centralized microphotography lab facilities and quality control for the state
  • Develop training programs to assist records officers and other interested officers of governmental entities
  • Follow directions from the executive director of the department
  • Provide access to public records deposited in the archives

UCA 63-2-906 requires State Archives to furnish certified copies of a record in its exclusive custody that is classified 'public.'

UCA 63-2-909 requires any record to be presumed 'public' 75 years after its creation, except a record that contains information about an individual 21 years old or younger must wait 100 years.

Intent Language

    Under terms of UCA 63-38-8.1(3), the Legislature intends not to lapse up to $20,000 provided by Item 38, Chapter 1, or Item 36, Chapter 371, Laws of Utah 2007. Expenditure of these funds is limited to: Digitizing and microfilming significant historical documents generated by former Utah legislators and governors for preservation and access.

    Under terms of UCA 63-38-8.1(3), the Legislature intends not to lapse up to $133,000 provided by Item 36, Chapter 371, Laws of Utah 2007 for regional repository projects and support grants. Expenditure of these funds is limited primarily to governmental entities to fund projects and regional repository support, but may also be used for non-governmental entities. The Legislature intends that no more than 25% of the total grants awarded for any given year be used for non-governmental entities.

    It is the intent of the Legislature that second class counties, cities, and special service districts may apply to the Division of State Archives to post public and legal notices to a statewide public notice website developed for the purpose of greater accessibility by the public.
