ATLANTA (AP) - University System of Georgia officials say the state's archive collection is being moved and a funding increase is expected to translate to an increase in service.
Officials said Thursday that the archives will be moved from the Secretary of State's office July 1 to the Board of Regents office, and the move comes with a $300,000 budget increase.
The state archives were established in 1918 and are currently housed in Morrow. They hold more than 80,000 cubic feet of state records.
The increased funding is expected to help expand access to the archives and increase staffing. That will help state officials keep the archives open two more days a week - Wednesdays and Thursdays - from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. beginning July 21.
