Archives Office staff can provide advice and information on the management, care and disposal of records; including the systematic transfer of records to the Archives Office.
Resources permitting, records held in the Archives Office may be able to be searched by Archives Office staff to provide information for government agencies.
Files and other records transferred to the Archives Office may, within some limitations, be retrieved by the agency for consultation.
Certified copies of records can be made for legal and other formal purposes.

Archives Office staff are available to help people with enquiries and research.
Resources permitting, written enquiries may be dealt with by Archives Office staff for those unable to visit the office in person, although there are limits to the amount of time that can be spent on individual enquiries.
