Records of the General Assembly form one of the premier collections in the State Archives. For years, the acquisition of historical legislative records has been a priority. General Assembly records rank in research and legal value with records of the Office of the Governor and the Judicial Branch of state government. Since the Library received the first transfer of files and papers, General Assembly records have enjoyed high demand. Even today, researchers continue to "unearth" the rich historical data contained within these records.
