The Colorado State Archives provides public access to a wide variety of current and historical state records through its web portal. An indication of this spectrum is evidenced by the menu tab, where information seekers can choose from Public Records that have been sorted into Genealogy, History, Legal Records, Legislative Records, Water Records, and Military Records. There's also an Archives Search, with the caveat that the search does not retrieve all records held by the Colorado State Archives. (A 7-page .pdf list details exactly what is covered in the Archives Search.) A handy feature is the About Archives page, which provides a capsule history of the Colorado State Archives, the materials it holds, and the services it provides. For the casual visitor, following the path from Public Records to History is probably the most enjoyable, and will lead to the highest percentage of visual materials. The Governor's Collection, records that document each governors' term in office, dating 1861 - 2007, should be useful for elementary school students.
