This program operates a centralized microphotography and reformatting center that reformats records as needed for long-term preservation. It provides reformatting and consulting services to state and local governmental entities as well as quality assurance. It establishes and maintains standards of quality control for governmental entities that reformat their own records, and enables customers to access reformatted records.
During the 2015 General Session, the Legislature appropriated for Fiscal Year 2016, $281,800 from all sources for Preservation Services. This is a 3.7 percent increase from Fiscal Year 2015 revised estimated amounts from all sources. The total includes $227,300 from the General/Education Funds, an increase of 3.2 percent from revised Fiscal Year 2015 estimates.
Reformatting and Microfilming Records
The workload in this program is reformatting and microfilming records using established standards and best practices. The program tracks frames and images reformatted for government customers and for the preservation and access of historical records and the number of consultations with governmental entities.
Dedicated credits come from items sold by State Archives, which primarily include microfilming, reformatting, and the duplication of microfilmed records. Costs charged represent the actual costs of State Archives in providing these services.
