The
Archives Division of the Office of the Secretary of
State of Oregon, or
Oregon State
Archives, is an agency of the Office of the
Oregon Secretary of State charged
with preserving and providing access to government records. It also
publishes the
Oregon Blue
Book and
Oregon
Administrative Rules.
The position of State Archivist was
authorized by the state
legislature in 1945, though not filled until 1947, and was
originally a staff position within the Oregon State
Library
. The duties and functions of the archivist
were placed under the purview of the Secretary of State in 1973,
when that office was deemed the chief records officer of the state
government by the legislature.
