History:

The Division of Archives and Records Management, an agency under the administration of the Secretary of State, houses several million archival items and more than 60,000 cubic feet of current public records created by 200 state government agencies.

The Archives and Records building was constructed in 1963 on the grounds of the New Hampshire Hospital and named in 1983 for Leon W. Anderson, author, reporter, and legislative historian. The facility contains a humidity-controlled archival vault, work areas, a records storage area which was expanded in 1974, and a micrographics area which was expanded in 1989.
