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, executive branches, and local governments. 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 contains notices of public meetings and hearings for the state and its political subdivisions.
