The Utah State Archives launched it’s new website in December. The most notable changes were made to the redesign and navigation of the Records Management page and the creation of two new pages: Micrographics and Open Records. Additionally, the new website provides an “I want to….” menu in the footer of each page.

Records officers needing to transfer records to the Records Center in Clearfield, or that need to retrieve files already in storage, may have had difficulty locating the necessary forms to complete these tasks.

The records transfer form is found in several places on the new website:

1. In the “I want to…” footer.

Records officers should select “I want to transfer records.”

You will then be redirected to the “Records Storage” page (which can also be found under Records Management).  On the records storage page, select “Transfer Records”.

To retrieve records already in storage, select Records Center File Retrieval Form”.
