Transferring to the State of Alaska certain archives and records in the custody 
of the National Archives of the United States.

Governors of Alaska, 1884-1958, were transferred to the Federal 
Archives and Records Center, Seattle, Washington, in 1958 as part 
of a records management improvement program and because of a 
lack of proper archival facilities in Alaska; and 
Whereas it was agreed by officials of the General Services Adminis-
tration and the State of Alaska at that time that legislation would 
be requested to return these archives and records to the custody of 
the State of Alaska at such time as a State archival agency should 
be prepared to receive them; and 
Whereas the State of Alaska will complete construction of a State 
archival facility in the near future; and 
Whereas Federal records created by territorial governments pertain-
ing to territorial activities have traditionally been transferred to 
the successor State government when a State enters the Union: Now,
