Program: Patron Services

Function

This program is responsible for providing access to all public records in division custody. Staff create inventories, guides, finding aids, and indexes to describe materials and make them more accessible to researchers. The program also manages the permanent collection in the new Archives repository and the Digital Archives. Both the general public and state and local agencies access records.

This program also provides access to records through the Digital Archives by reformatting paper and film for online presentation. These online resources provide access worldwide at any time of day. Records are also digitized for patrons on demand, and may be incorporated into the Digital Archives

Performance

The division holds historical records in the public trust and the Patron Services program assists patrons in their research efforts. This program strives to meet patron requests for services the same day for walk-ins and within a week for correspondence and telephone requests.

Patron Requests

Funding Detail
