Can I store government records off-site in leased storage space?
Local governments and state agencies do not have to store their records in their own facilities. They can store their records in commercial records storage facilities, and state agencies can also store their records at the New York State Archives’ records center on the State Office Campus in Albany. For more guidance on storing records off-site, see the publication Off-Site Storage of Inactive Local Government Records (Technical Information Series 42), or contact the State Archives at (518) 474-6926 or via e-mail at RECMGMT@mail.nysed.gov.
