library archives

Library archives are specialized collections within libraries that preserve and provide access to historical documents, records, and unique materials. These can include things like letters, photographs, manuscripts, and official records that have significance to a community or institution. Archives serve to ensure that important information is saved for future generations, allowing researchers, historians, and the public to explore and learn from the past. Unlike regular books, archival materials are often original and can be one-of-a-kind, making them valuable resources for understanding history and culture.
