Tasmanian Archives, previously the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office (TAHO), and the Archives Office of Tasmania, was created in 2011 following amalgamation with the Heritage Collections at the State Library of Tasmania. Tasmanian Archives operates under the Archives Act 1983. Its collection includes the records of all government departments and agencies involved in the welfare of children. It also holds correspondence between government and institutions run by voluntary agencies and the State. From 2011-2018, Tasmanian Archives was known as the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office (TAHO).
