About the
State Records Center and Archives
The State Records Center and Archives preserves, protects, and facilitates access to public records that are held in trust for the people of New Mexico. In 1959 the Commission of Public Records was charged with establishing the State Records Center and Archives. We are responsible for the administration of the Public Records Act and the State Rules Act, as well as portions of other statutes. We ensure rules decreed by State agencies are published and accessible.
