The
State Archives Function
The function of
the State Archives of Iowa is to document the
rights of citizens, the actions of state
officials, and the state experience. The State
Archives of Iowa represents a public trust upon
which our democracy depends and as such it must be
an advocate for openness and accountability in
government. The State Archives works to ensure
that the essential evidence of government is
created, maintained for as long as it is needed,
and is available to the citizens of the state and
to the public in general.
The governing
mandates for the State Archives of Iowa are
included in the Code of Iowa Chapters
303.13-303.15 and chapter 304. Public access to
government records is mandated by Code of Iowa Chapter
22.
