By The Machinery of Government (Transfer of Functions) (Guernsey) Ordinance, 2003, responsibility for Island Archives was transferred to the Policy Council of the States of Guernsey. In 2016 the States of Guernsey transferred responsibility for the Island Archives to the Committee for Education, Sport and Culture. By virtue of the States’ resolution of 1986 all States Departments and Committees are to cooperate with the Island Archivist in accordance with policies and directives to be issued by the Policy and Resources Committee. The States of Guernsey have not made legislation equivalent to the Public Records Act 1958 as amended, or the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017 as amended applies to the Island Archives. A proportion of the annual income from the Wilfred Carey Purchase Fund, established by States’ resolution in 1990, is available to the Island Archives in some circumstances to make purchases of local interest.

Further information about the terms of accessing records can be found in the Island Archives' access policy. Visitors wishing to consult records created in the last 100 years and potentially containing personal data will be required to sign a researcher agreement form to be given access to these records, and are encouraged to read the access policy for further information. "@eng . "Copies are supplied subject to all relevant legal provisions, including those relating to copyright and data protection. In most cases where a copy of material within copyright is being made and supplied by the Island Archives a declaration form must be completed and signed by the user. There may besides be certain restrictions imposed by the depositor. Please also note that large quantities of copying may be subject to an extended waiting period or refused. Photocopying or scanning can subject items to risk of permanent damage due to the high UV levels and heat involved. For this reason there are some records that we will be unable to copy, particularly older materials or those in a fragile condition. In most cases we will be unable to copy the following items due to these risks, although another form of copying may sometimes be possible: \r\nOriginal photographs;\r\nOccupation registration forms; \r\nParchment or vellum documents; \r\nDocuments with seals; \r\nItems which are fragile or damaged; \r\nOversize items; \r\nPages or folded enclosures from heavy books, or those with tight bindings. \r\n\r\nIn some cases users may be permitted to use their own digital cameras or electronic devices (without flash), to take photographs of items in the research area under staff supervision. Please ask a member of Archives’ staff before taking any photographs. Please do not hesitate to ask any member of Archives staff for clarification or further information regarding the foregoing, and we will endeavour to provide an appropriate and timely response, although in some cases we may have to refer the matter to the Archivist or take other advice before proceeding. Researchers are reminded that it is their responsibility to comply with all relevant legal provisions, including those relating to copyright, in respect of material and information made available by the Island Archives.
