The papers of state legislators are a valued resource for legislative intent research. These records may consist of legislative bill files, subject files, correspondence, and press releases. The dates reflect the time period of the papers on file, not the term of the legislator. Some legislators papers are restricted but can be accessed with written authorization from the legislator whose papers are being requested. Contact State Archives staff for additional information. Italicized names indicate processed records. Underlined names indicate processed records with online finding aids.

The California State Archives holds the working papers of more than 300 individual legislators including:
