The National Archives collect and secure the future of the government record, from Shakespeare’s will to tweets from Downing Street to preserve it for generations to come, making it as accessible and available as possible. 

We are the official archive and publisher for the UK government and guardians of over 1,000 years of iconic national documents. We are a non-ministerial government department.

We are expert advisers in information and records management and are a cultural, academic and heritage institution. We fulfil a leadership role for the archive sector and work to secure the future of physical and digital records.
