The Archives of Michigan has entered into several agreements with archival depositories around Michigan to store local government records close to the office of origin. These agreements outline the responsibilities of the both the Archives of Michigan and the depository regarding the records. The records remain the property of the State of Michigan and the depository is responsible for providing storage and reference services so that researchers may have access to the records. The goal is to allow these records to be maintained in a location geographically close to the office of origin, while providing secure, environmentally controlled environments where the records can be preserved for the future.

Listed below are the Regional Depositories and the geographic area of the state covered by each Depository. Local government agencies should contact the Archives of Michigan first regarding their records, rather than the Regional Depository. Researchers interested in the records of a specific locality should contact the Reference Services of the Archives of Michigan first to locate those records.
