Queensland State Archives ensures that the public records of Queensland – from the 1820s till today – are made, managed, kept. Our collection is full of the rich history of Queensland government and Queensland society and culture.
A key role that archives play is to support Queensland Government in protecting the rights of our citizens, support democratic governance, foster a culture of trust and accountability, and deliver efficient services through the effective management of information assets.
In short the Policy, Assurance and Government Records team aims to help public servants in the making, using and management of public records.
