Gov. Peter Shumlin
Governor Peter Shumlin
Governor Shumlin served between the years 2011 and 2017 for a total of three terms. The majority of Gov. Shumlin records are digital; however, a small number of paper records were transferred.
With some exceptions, gubernatorial records not exempt from public inspection and copying pursuant to 1 V.S.A. § 317(c) are available through through VT Re•tain, see: Vermont. Governor (2011-2017: Shumlin). Records not available through VT Re•tain due to format or other public access limitations may be requested through VSARA's Reference Room. See our Archives Request Form for how to make a request.
There is also an index to his paper records through the Online Guide: see Record Series A-366 (Governor Peter Shumlin Records, 2011-2017).
Governor Shumlin deemed certain records of his administration privileged and therefore exempt from public inspection and copying for a period of six years (1 V.S.A. § 317(c)(4)). These records were unsealed on Monday, January 9, 2023. See Memorandum of Understanding for more details.
