Local Records Board

Missouri governments' collective memory is housed in its permanent and historical records. Citizens have an ongoing need to access and obtain copies of these records. The Local Records Board serves as the coordinating board to establish proper retention schedules for all local governments. It derives its authority from RSMo 109.230 and 109.255, Missouri's Business and Public Records Law.

The Board is chaired by the Secretary of State and consists of local government officials from all classes of counties and cities, elementary and secondary education, higher education, and a representative of historical society organizations. Members serve without compensation at an annual August meeting scheduled by the Secretary. The Board meets at the Kirkpatrick State Information Center, 600 W. Main, Jefferson City.

Guidelines promulgated by the Board can be found at http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/localrecs/schedules/
