State Government Records Assistance

Overview

The Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) is designated by state law to be the archival and records management agency of the state of Mississippi (Mississippi Code of 1972, Annotated, §25-59-5). The State Government Records Assistance page is a collaborative effort of the MDAH Archives and Records Services Division and the MDAH Records Management Division. The information resources presented on this page are intended to assist state agencies and workers in finding answers to their questions regarding records management and to inform them about their legal responsibilities and duties with respect to the records they generate. We hope that as time allows the page will grow to serve as a source where agency records officers and liaisons with MDAH can find information on records management training offerings, downloadable forms and instructions, and links to related sites.
