DescriptionQueensland State Archives, Dutton Park, July 1968.jpg
English: With the appointement of an Archivist in 1959, space was initially allocated in the Commissariat Store in William Street, but this building was full by March 1962. Additional space in the Anzac Square government building and the old Lady Bowen Hospital also filled rapidly.
In July 1968 Queensland State Archives was relocated to a purpose-built facility in Dutton Park. Conservation was accorded a new emphasis in the Dutton Park building, with fumigation chamber installed to deal with pest and mould infestation.
Sticter environment controls were placed upon the storage of the records. There was an increase in the number and complexity of reference inquiries and new repography services were introduced. A microfilm camers was purchased in 1971 and a microfilm storage vault was built.
The use of microfilm provided access to heavily used records while preserving the original documents. Space was again an issue by 1974 and in 1978 a building at West End in Brisbane was acquired for use as remote storage.
A new building was proposed and a site selected at Runcorn. The current building at Runcorn was built in 1992. Officially opened in 1993, it was nominated for an architectural award and as a finalist received a commendation.
