The Oregon State Archives, a division of the Secretary of State's Office, provides access to the permanently valuable records of Oregon government.

The division houses some of the state's oldest documents, including records from the provisional and territorial governments, the Oregon Constitution, and extensive holdings from all three branches of state government. The State Archives also publishes the biennial Oregon Blue Book, the authoritative source of information on Oregon's history and government.

This Web site offers access to the Blue Book, Administrative Rules, and records management resources as well as guides for researchers and Web exhibits for students of all ages.
