They hold all of the documentation on normal events that took place during the life of the organization, individual or family. All of the historical documentation being stored at the Records Department is being cared for by professional archivists. The archivists do preservative work to ensure the documentation is available for generations to come.

The services that are available to access these records include staff that can help in historical searches in person, over the phone, through the mail and through the email.
