Access to Official RecordsUnder the State Records Act, 1997 it is the agency responsible for the records, after consultation with State Records, that decides whether the public can access a record. When searching for and ordering records through our on-line catalogue, ArchivesSearch, you will find that the access determination for many records is described as unrestricted or open. Records classified as unrestricted or open may be viewed at a Research Centre. The access determination for other records will be described as restricted. To view restricted material, researchers must obtain written permission from the Government Agency that created or is responsible for the material. Research Centre staff are happy to provide advice on the process of gaining access. State Records has produced a Research Advice sheet that outlines public access to official records - Public Access to Official Records. This may be viewed from the link below. For more detailed information on how agencies determine access restriction periods, please refer to the Public Access Determinations Guidelines. The Public Access Determinations Guideline has been reviewed to include new terminology in regard to the provision of access and to take into account the amendments to the Freedom of Information Act, 1991.
