What we do

Established under the State Records Act 2000, the State Records Office is the Western Australian public records authority with responsibility for managing, preserving and providing access to the State's records of information. 

The State Records Office operates as a Government agency within the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries and reports to the State Records Commission.

By supporting our public sector colleagues in WA we seek to achieve a secure and discoverable record of government that is valued by our community and used to create a legacy for current and future generations of Western Australians .
