The official papers of the Governor of Alaska are typically held by the Alaska State Archives. Additional records related to governors that are not considered part of the official records, including personal papers, campaign papers, and other materials may be retained by the Governor when he or she leaves office and may eventually be transferred to an archival repository. This is a list of the known collections of Alaskan Governors' papers held by archives. If you represent a repository that holds publicly accessible collections of papers related to these governors that are not listed below, please contact us to be added to the list.

In general, the Alaska State Archives holds the official records from the office of each governor. Holdings at other institutions may or may not have content related to the individual's time in office.

If an online guide to the collection is available, it is linked below. Otherwise the holding institution's main website or searchable catalog is linked.
