Starfleet Records Service Command

### Headquarters

Central Records Office, Starfleet Archives Center, Starfleet Headquarters, San Francisco, Earth

**Starfleet Records Service Command** was an administrative section of Starfleet, and a support command of Starfleet Operational Command, that managed the collection and storage of all records created by the service.

## Organization

Administered by the Chief of Starfleet Records, the command operated primarily out of the Starfleet Archives Center at Starfleet Headquarters in San Francisco, Earth. A number of annexes were also located throughout the Federation, one of which was the Aldrin City Archives Annex, which served as the high-security preservation center of Starfleet.

Though generally not directly involved in the aspects of exploration and defense evinced by the rest of Stafleet, the Records Service was assigned a few starships to assist in fulfilling its mission. By the 25th century, the USS *Incunabula* and USS *Jikji* were on specific assignment to the command and were primarily responsible for transporting personnel and physical records between various holdings and facilities of the command and the Memory Project.

### Central Records Office

The Central Records Office, located in the Starfleet Archives Center, handled the administrative requirements of the command, including the management of information exchange with the Memory Project and Starfleet archival facilities.

### Preservation Directorate

The Preservation Directorate was primarily responsible for ensuring the preservation and storage of Starfleet records in their various formats. The agency also oversaw the operation of archival facilities and advised on the operation of Memory Project facilities.

### Processing Directorate

Receiving, ingesting, and cataloging all records and information created by Starfleet was the responsibility of the Processing Directorate.

### Reference Directorate

Providing access to Starfleet records via remote and in-person requests was the purview of the Reference Directorate. The agency was responsible for preparing reports for other commands and Federation governmental agencies when needed and handled all research requests and visitor services at Records Service sites.

## Equipment and uniforms

Personnel, subject to the Starfleet Uniform Code, wore the standard duty uniform with a departmental color of green. On special occasions, personnel wore formal wear from their homeworlds or a Starfleet dress uniform.
