How to Box Records
How to Get Boxes...
State agencies work directly with the Washington State Records Center to get boxes delivered to their location. State agencies should request boxes via the RCMS application.
Local government entities work directly with their regional archivist to either pick up or have boxes delivered to their location. The Washington State Archives has five regional branches across the state to better serve the regions. When contacting your regional archives, please let the archivist know how many boxes you need and what types of records will be stored in them.
