What we do

Established under the State Records Act 2000, the State Records Office is part of the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport and supports the State Records Commission in its statutory role under the Act.

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.
