In Alaska, public records, pursuant to the Alaska Public Records Law (APRA), are any books, papers, files, accounts, writings and other items, that are created by or given to a public agency, or those same records created by or given to a private contractor for a public agency. The definition under the law was extended in 1990 by the state legislature to include any drafts or memorializations of conversations to also be considered as public records in Alaska. The public records in Alaska are open to the public for inspection during business hours, unless otherwise specified in the Statute, and there can be a fee for obtaining same.

The APRA laws were created as a guarantee that there will be public access to public records in Alaska for all levels of government. The law is defined in Statutes 40.25.100-40.25.125 of the Alaskan state legislature.
