The Guide to 1994 State Cabinet Records describes the papers, key issues, and historical context for decisions at the time.

As stated by Creative Industries Minister Simone McGurk:
"State Cabinet records are historically significant archives which reveal the decisions made by the government of the day.
"The annual guide to State Cabinet records is created by the State Records Office to provide an opportunity for the public to explore these important records further.
"I would encourage all Western Australians with an interest in the State's history to explore the services offered by the State Records Office, online or in person."
