As a result of necessary expansion by the Massachusetts Archives to accommodate the growing need for environmentally-controlled vault storage for the permanent, non-current, records of the Commonwealth, the former State Records Center (SRC) no longer fulfills its service as an off-site repository for records still within the custodial control of the creating authorities.
While we will continue to work with agencies to take back their non-permanent records, the former SRC no longer accepts additional boxes. Please contact recordscenter@sec.state.ma.us to discuss disposition of any records your agency may still have on deposit.
The former SRC is not accessible to the public. Members of the public who wish to obtain access to or copies of agency records still on deposit at the former SRC should contact the creating agency directly.
Agencies with questions regarding the custodial transfer of inactive, permanent records to the Archives on Columbia Point, or questions relative to the destruction of their eligible, non-permanent records still housed in the former SRC, should contact the Massachusetts Archives.
