Records Center

In order to minimize storage costs and to free office space for use by agency staff, the State Records Center provides state agencies with off-site storage for their inactive records. The Records Center will only accept records when a fully approved retention schedule authorizes the transfer. After the transfer, title and ultimate responsibility for the records remains with the agency that created them.

The Records Center provides full records services including records pick-up and transfer, document retrieval and delivery, and records destruction.

If a member of the public wishes to view records stored at the Records Center, he or she should contact the Indiana State Government agency which holds title to the records. That agency may then request the records from the Records Center. The Records Center staff cannot release records to anyone but a representative from the agency which owns them.

The Records Center Handbook for State Agency Staff (in pdf format) is a guide to working with the Records Center for the staff of the Indiana State Government agencies who use its services. For agencies transferring approved records to the Records Center for storage, the Record Transmittal and Receipt Form (SF 23628) is available online in both MS Word and PDF formats.
