About the CA State Archives
The California State Archives collects, catalogs,
preserves, and provides access to the historic
records of state government and some local
governments. The Archives collection is primarily
composed of records from California state
agencies, the governor's office, the state
legislature, and the State Supreme Court and
Courts of Appeal. The records are organized under
the name of the agency or office that transferred
the records to the Archives. The collections also
include some private papers that have been donated
to the Archives. As of January 2009, the
collection consists of millions of paper
documents, maps, photographs, three–dimensional
artifacts, and records in other formats such as
audiotape and videotape.
