Archive organizations

Archive organizations are institutions that collect, preserve, and manage historical records, documents, and materials for long-term access and use. They serve as repositories of valuable information, ensuring that records of the past—such as letters, photographs, official documents, and digital files—are maintained securely and are accessible to researchers, historians, and the public. These organizations help preserve cultural heritage, support transparency, and enable the study of history, government, and society. They often set standards for preservation and access, ensuring that the information remains intact and usable over time.
