From 8 September to 20 October we will be in the process of relocating the State Archives from the Arizona Capitol to the new, state-of-the-art, Polly Rosenbaum Archives and History Building. During that time, access to archival collections will be severely limited and we may take up to two months to respond to your request.
Due to budget constraints and an increase in off-site patron requests, the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records has implemented the following policy:
Agency staff will make every reasonable effort to respond to requests for research information as quickly and thoroughly as possible. Staff will not perform open-ended research for patrons that would require them to interpret the records. This includes legal, genealogical, land title and ownership, or in-depth historical research. Each off-site public patron request will be limited to a maximum of two names or subjects and one record per name or subject. In-state off-site public patrons will be allowed up to one-half hour of free research twice every four months. Out-of-state off-site patrons will be allowed up to one-half hour of free research once every four months. Additional requests within the four month period will result in a research fee of $15.00 per request for both in-state and out-of-state off-site public patrons.
