Records Management Branch
The Archives Division, Records Management Branch (RMB) helps State executive and legislative agencies to answer record keeping questions, such as:
“How long must these records be kept?”
“My agency is running out of storage space. Where else can we store inactive records?”
“How can records be confidentially destroyed?”
The RMB assists agencies to answer these types of questions and efficiently manage records by:
operating a State Records Center, a secure warehouse to store inactive, non-permanent paper records in bulk for state executive branch agencies. Records are stored in the State Records Center for cost-efficiency and to satisfy record retention requirements. All agencies, storing records 
in the State Records Center retain legal ownership of the records. The Records Management Branch is not authorized to release any records directly to the public.
The State Records Center also contains a secure climate-controlled vault for the storage of master / security copies of state and neighbor island county agency microfilms, video tapes, CDs, DVDs, backup tapes, and microfiche.
- developing Records Retention and Disposition Schedules that authorize agencies to systematically dispose of non-permanent records and identify records of permanent value, and
- helping to develop Records Management Policies and serving as a resource to answer agency questions about record keeping policies, laws and practices.
