• Assisting individuals who seek records to identify the records sought;
• Assisting the custodian of records to preserve public records in accordance with the law;
• Preparing, posting online and periodically updating guidelines to enable the public to make informed public records requests; and
• Documenting, in compliance with M.G.L c. 66, § 6A(e), specific information about each request made for public records.

Please contact the Records Access Officer in writing regarding public records requests for documents pursuant to A Guide to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, https://www.sec.state.ma.us/pre/prepdf/guide.pdf, as published by William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth.
