List of U.S. state libraries and archives

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from California State Archives)

In the United States of America, sub-national governmental state library agencies established in each state have long been a catalyst for a great deal of the motivation for public library cooperation. This has been since the founding of the movement, starting in 1890 when Massachusetts created a state Board of Library Commissioners charged to help communities establish and improve public libraries.[1] Over the years, state library agencies played a major role in encouraging larger units of service to provide library resources.[2] The Library Services Act (1956) and the Library Services and Construction Act (1964) were keystones in the goal of providing library service throughout the nation.[3]

In addition, many of the 50 states have state archives similar to the federal National Archives and Records Administration to keep records relating to information on state laws, census information, etc.[4][5]
