Arizona Secretary of State issued the following announcement on Oct. 14.

Legal history research is a little easier now that two law collections have been digitized and added to the Arizona Memory Project. The Arizona Administrative Code and the Legislative Bill Files, 1991-1996 collections make researching the legislative process, amended laws, and administrative codes a lot faster with online access from anywhere.

Digitization of the Legislative Bill Files, 1991-1996 collection was completed in partnership with the Arizona House of Representatives, Arizona State Senate, Arizona State Archives, and the Arizona Historical Society, Tempe. Additional years will be digitized and added to the collection in the coming year. Digitization of the 1974 Arizona Administrative Code was completed in-house over the last nine months and includes all supplements from 1975 to present.

“Using the bill tracker and the Legislative Bill Files, 1991-1996 collection, researchers can now review legislative documents online from 1991 to present,” said Martha McConnell, law librarian for the State of Arizona Research Library. “Digital access to the Arizona Administrative Code from 1974 to present now allows researchers to analyze when and how the rules have been amended without leaving their home or office.”
