The State Archives holds only a few cubic feet of records from the Kansas Forestry, Fish, & Game Commission, and many of these records are spotty or only cover a brief period of the agency's existence.

Records range from Commission meeting minutes, to animal population and environment research, to records related to the establishment of various state parks in Kansas.

Circa 25 cubic feet.
