The Utah State Archives catalog includes a wide variety of Utah government records, both records in our custody and those still in the custody of the creating agency or which are eventually destroyed. Knowing whether certain records are kept permanently or are destroyed at some point will tell you what may be available and can help focus a research project. Access to many permanent records is provided through the Archives Research Center.
Most agencies provide access to records in their custody.
