State Archives Collection

The State Archives Collection consists of over one million Colonial, State and Local government records from 1829 through to current times. These are records that document the decisions and actions of government and its interaction with West Australians. The State Archives Collection is managed by the State Records Office.

Many State archives are also retained by the government organisations that created them or for which they have become custodians over time. It you are unable to find the archives you are looking for through our catalogue, please contact the State Records Office.
