"Archives" means documents, books, papers, photographs, sound recordings, or similar material produced or received pursuant to law in connection with official government business, which no longer have administrative, legal, or fiscal value to the office having present custody of them, and which have been appraised by the state archivist as having sufficient historical, research, or informational value to warrant permanent preservation. The state archivist is the trustee and custodian of the archives of Iowa, except that county or municipal archives are not included unless they are voluntarily deposited with the state archivist with the written consent of the state archivist. The state archivist shall prescribe rules for the systematic arrangement of archives as to the proper labeling to indicate the contents and order of filing and the archives must be labeled before the archives may be transferred to the state archivist's custody.
