Archival Records

Archival records are documents and materials that have been preserved for their historical, legal, or cultural significance. These can include written records, photographs, audio and video recordings, and digital files. They are stored in archives, which are specialized facilities dedicated to maintaining and providing access to these materials. Archival records help researchers, historians, and the public understand the past, document changes over time, and provide insight into different aspects of society and culture. Essentially, they serve as a collective memory of individuals, organizations, and communities.
