Two Saint Louis lawmakers are sponsoring legislation to create a trust fund that would help open an archives center in Saint Louis City. The state archive center would be an addition to the archive center that already exists in Jefferson City.

St. Louis County Representative Kathlyn Fares says having the archives in Saint Louis would be more convenient than Jefferson City.

A similar bill is being sponsored by St. Louis County senator Mike Gibbons and passed in the senate financial committee this week. From Jefferson City, I'm Monica Walter.

Staff members from the Secretary of State's office are in Saint Louis looking at possible locations for a new state archive center. The facility would be funded by a private St. Louis based trust fund and include archives that directly relate to the Saint Louis area.

Saint Louis Representative Kathlyn Fares is sponsoring the bill in the House. She says the archives would include Lewis and Clark documents and court cases from the area.

A Senate committee voted to pass the bill Tuesday and a house committee is expected to vote on it next week. From the State Capitol, I'm Monica Walter.
