Departmental records, including State archives, are managed by the department in accordance with the State Records Act 2000. Prior to that Act, the management of departmental records was controlled under the Library Board Act 1951. Under neither Acts does it stipulate the need to record the three dimensional space occupied by State Archives and as such, that information is not readily available.
