archival materials

Archival materials are documents and records that are preserved because of their long-term value for research, history, or evidence. These materials can include letters, photographs, official documents, and digital files. They are typically kept in archives, which are special places that ensure their safety and accessibility. Researchers, historians, and the public often use archives to gain insights into past events, cultures, and decisions. By preserving these materials, we maintain a record of human activity and experience for future generations.
