About Our Collection

The Provincial Archives plays an important role in preserving the cultural resources of the province.  It acquires and preserves records essential not just for self-knowledge, but also for the protection of our rights, individually and collectively.  The Archives collects both private and public records, and once acquired, these records are made part of the permanent collection.
