Administrative History
On April 20, 1830, the Legislative Assembly resolved that Azariah C. Flagg and others be employed to examine the assembly archives, to select from such original papers and documents as judged to be proper, and to deposit the papers in the office of the Secretary of State. In June and July, 1831, the papers selected were deposited and bound in 45 volumes designated as "Assembly Papers." In 1900, a report on the public archives of New York published by the American Historical Association described these "miscellaneous" papers as containing numerous documents of great interest and historical value.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
